Stoke vs Preston Predictions & Betting Tips

Stoke vs Preston Predictions

Preston continued their negative streak on Thursday night, falling 2-0 away at West Brim. It was the third league defeat on the trot for the Lilywhites who dropped to the 14^th position in the Championship ladder as a consequence. They will be looking to bounce back on Monday afternoon in the fixture against Stoke away at bet365 Stadium. Ryan Lowe’s men are still in the playoffs picture with the tight situation in the top half of the standings. Can they turn a corner at the start of the year?

Match Preview & Team News

Stoke will enter the game in higher spirits. They made it three subsequent league outings without a defeat on Boxing Day in a 2-2 stalemate to Rotherham. However, it is worth noting that the Potters did have an easier schedule in December, facing the likes of Cardiff, Bristol City, and Rotherham in three matches before the affair against Burnley on Friday. The fact that Alex Neil’s troops shipped two or more goals in each of the mentioned three fixtures against Cardiff, Bristol City, and Rotherham, says enough about their current defensive form. Read on our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

There is joy for Preston’s attackers in this game. They may not have thrived in the recent matches but the likes of Emil Riis and Ched Evans should have plenty of room to deliver past the leaky Stoke defense here. They have bagged five goals each so far in the season and there is merit in backing either to score anytime on Monday given the odds. Also, Stoke have won only 3 of 11 league matches on the home turf so far in the season which is why we are more than tempted to roll the dice with the visitors at attractive 2/1 odds here.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

Veteran Championship striker Ched Evans is sky-high 10/3 to score anytime on Monday. He is his team’s joint-top scorer and he will have a lot of room here against Stoke.

Betting Preview

Both teams have been struggling for consistency throughout the whole season. However, with Stoke’s defensive faults and great value on the 2/1 odds offered for the away win pick, we have to go with Preston on Monday.
