Preston North End will be looking to register a third straight win on Tuesday evening when they welcome Norwich City to Deepdale.
Almost everything has gone the way of Preston North End’s way over the last three weeks. Paul Heckingbottom’s men prepare for Tuesday’s game with plenty of confidence after avoiding defeat in each of their last three Championship outings, registering two wins and one draw. Having also kept a clean sheet in all three encounters, the Lilywhites will fancy their chances against a Norwich City side that are sitting in the top seven.
Norwich City also come into Tuesday’s game after plenty of great results. The Canaries have not lost any of their last five games in the English second division, recording three wins and two draws. Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side won just one of the two away games played in that spell but their away record against Preston is very good, with Norwich City winning the last two 5-0 on aggregate.
Preston North End vs Norwich City Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
While Preston North End shipped five goals in their last two meetings, the Lilywhites have improved greatly defensively this season and I think that is likely to play a key role on Tuesday. The hosts conceded under one goal in each of their last five games at home and just one of those encounters produced more than two goals.
Norwich City have also been very good defensively in recent matches, with the visitors conceding under one goal in all but one of their last seven fixtures. Bets on under 2.5 goals were won in four of those matches and I expect a similar outcome on Tuesday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Preston North End vs Norwich City prediction: 1-1
