Preston vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips (2 October)

Although results have picked up a bit recently, the fact that Preston have recorded just two victories in their previous 10 top-flight home fixtures, losing on five occasions, goes a long way towards explaining why they find themselves locked in a difficult battle. As for title-chasing Watford, they have triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late.

Every single one of the most recent 12 Preston home games at the top table of the Championship has served up three goals or fewer, so consistency has been very much the watchword. It has been an extremely similar story as far as Watford are concerned on their top-flight travels of late, with ten matches on the spin also delivering under 3.5 goals.

Not only have Watford performed extremely well on their top-flight travels of late, securing many points from ten matches, but they have also proven entertaining to watch, with 10 of their last 14 trips producing goals at both ends. This has also been the case in six of the most recent nine Preston home games at this level, so more of the same is expected.
