Southampton hoped to return to the Premier League after only one year of absence. Still, the fans expected the team to secure the spot via direct spot, but it is more realistic for Southampton to go through the playoffs. Russell Martin's team is not at the peak of their form, as they won only four of the last ten matches. In the previous game, Southampton won 3-2 at home against Watford. The home side expected an easier win after they had a 2-0 lead after only twenty minutes, but in the end, Martin's team needed Flynn Downes' goal deep in the second half's stoppage time to take all three points.
Preston hoped to sneak into the playoff zone, but after only one win in the last four league matches, Preston are eight points behind the desired sixth position on the table. In the previous game, Ryan Lowe's team lost 1-0 at home against Norwich. In that match, the teams were pretty even, but late in the game, the guests scored the goal that left Preston empty-handed.
Southampton vs Preston pick: Preston to cover AH +1.5 spread
Southampton have won only one of the last ten matches by two or more goals. On the other hand, Preston have a solid defense, as they have allowed two of the last three games. Preston to cover AH +1.5 spread should be a suitable bet for this tie.

It's my job to make sure we stay there."
