Newcastle United vs Preston match preview, betting advice, and betting tips: The hosts need to win to close on promotion
Match Preview – 20.45 Kick-Off at St James' Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Newcastle United are second in the table, six points clear of Reading with a vastly superior goal difference, and seven ahead of Huddersfield who have a game in hand, which means that a win would almost certainly clinch promotion. Newcastle United play on Monday, which means earlier results of their direct rivals could help them but that shouldn't change their mindset. Preston are in midtable after a very satisfying season, and are resting already with three defeats in a row. Newcastle United are clear favourites here.

Newcastle United vs Preston Predictions
Newcastle United had disappointing results lately, taking just one point from their last three matches, but it will only make them more motivated to celebrate with their fans in style. They want to win convincingly to get very close to securing promotion and Preston are the best possible opponents on current form. Newcastle United should win comfortably and the odds at 1.45 are actually higher than expected. It is also quite logical to expect Newcastle United to beat Preston by two goals or more, and the odds are fantastic at 2.20.
