Burton Albion Preston North End betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be Preston winning. It’s true the visiting team doesn’t have an excellent record as a visiting team; however, in this round they move to the ground of an "enemy" who is very unmotivated after having lost the last six matches in his stadium. Thus, it’s expectable that Preston will put their favoritism on the pitch and win the three points.

In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Sunderland, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Derby County, by (1‑0).

In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Burton comes unmotivated for this match after a 1-0 defeat at Derby ground. The home team tends to act in a 5-2-3 scheme, privileging the offensive transitions and channeling its attack through the flanks. The three arrows aimed at the goal of the "enemy" will be Miller, Sordell and Akins, and the player responsible for conducting the attacks of his team is Englishman Akins. It’s possible that in the most central zone of the pitch will play Palmer and Murphy. The coach Nigel Clough won’t count on Liam Boyce for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Stephen Bywater, John Brayford, Tom Flanagan, Ben Turner, Luke Murphy, William Miller, Tom Naylor, Matt Palmer, Lloyd Dyer, Lucas Akins.
Coach: J. Buxton, M. Paterson.

Analysis Preston

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 7 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Norwich City, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Queens Park Rangers, by (1‑0).

In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches).

In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Preston comes motivated for this match after a 1-0 win at home against Queens Park Rangers: Hugill, in the 88th minute, stamped the only goal of the match.

The visiting team, when they invest on the offensive process they usually do it through the left flank, taking advantage of the depth offered by left lateral defender Davies. One of Preston's weaknesses is maintaining the ball possession, once they lose it with relative ease.

Confirmed Lineup: Chris Maxwell, Darnell Fisher, Ben Davies, Tom Clarke, Paul Huntington, Paul Gallagher, Ben Pearson, Alan Browne, Tom Barkhuizen, Jordan Hugill, Callum Robinson.
Coach: A. Neil.
