Preston North End vs Cardiff City Prediction and Betting Advice
As we detailed above, the home team are probably ranked bottom of the Championship in terms of excitement, which has a large bearing on our decision to include under 2.5 goals among today’s Championship football betting tips. In just one of PNE’s eight competitive games in 2017/18 have we seen over 2.5 goals scored and that was in the League Cup 2-3 defeat to Accrington Stanley. There has been a paltry three goals in their last five outings alone. Although the Bluebirds have crossed that magic over 2.5 number in three of their last five, their host’s ability to suck the life out of games means it’s far more likely we’ll have another relatively dull match-up at Deepdale. In only two of the club’s last six did we see over 2.5 goals, so the history books give further credence to our forecast. Dafabet have some really good odds available for this game, so our advice is to bet with them.
Next up in our free Preston North End vs Cardiff City picks is our recommendation that you take the away win/draw no bet option. This bet means that you don’t lose your money if the teams draw. If City win, your bet wins, but if they draw, your stake is returned. This insurance bet at this terrific price is too good to turn down. Neil Warnock will be confident that his team can keep PNE out on Tuesday, and if his team can nick even a single goal, three more points should be on their way back to Wales. The home team’s inability to create in the final third leaves them worryingly exposed in most games and this mid-week duel is no different.
