Bristol City to Win or Draw
Playing on the road, Bristol City managed to win three and draw five of their 13 games. The Robins are undefeated in their last four games and their last four away matches. Preston meanwhile lost their last four home games.
Over 1.5 Goals
Six of the previous eight meetings between Preston and Bristo City produced over 1.5 goals. The same trend happened in 50% of Preston’s home games and 92% of Bristol’s away matches. Hence, there is a 71% possibility for this bet to succeed.
Correct Score Group Bet 0-0 or 1-0 or 0-1
This group of scores is the most frequent in Preston’s matches this season. In detail, one of these scores was the final result in Preston’s seven home games and also seven times when they were playing on the road.
Preston
Preston leaped to the 11th position in the Championship table after returning from Birmingham by a 1-2 victory. The Lillywhites are having an inconsistent season at home winning just three of their 14 league fixtures. Preston drew seven of their opening 11 league games but their next 18 games went either way.
Defensive weakness has been a huge issue for boss Ryan Lowe, especially in the last eight rounds. In detail, the Lilywhites conceded 1.88 goals per game in the last eight matches which is 69.4% higher than their season’s average of 1.11. Preston failed to score in eight of their 14 home matches.
Bristol City
With the 1-1 home draw against Blackburn, Bristol City extended their unbeaten run to four during which they won one and drew three matches. The Robins have not lost in their last four away games and scored at least a goal in ten of their 13 away league games.
In contrast to their hosts, Bristol City improved their defense in the last eight rounds. To illustrate, the Robins conceded an average of 1.36 goals per game during the season. However, the stats of the previous eight games show that Bristol City conceded 1.13 goals per game.
Despite the fact that Preston are seven points and six spots above Bristol City in the Championship table, the recent form of both teams falls in favor of Bristol City. As a result, we believe the Robins are able to avoid defeat and hence will back them with a double chance.
The last two meetings between these two teams produced over 2.5 goals and the previous four h2hs ended in Bristol City winning two and two draws. With odds of 3.88 at 1xBet we will back a double chance of an away win or draw combined with over 2.5 goals.
Bristol City’s Nahki Wells has some very interesting statistics this season. The 32-year-old player from Bermuda is his team’s top scorer with nine goals and three assists. Wells is considered a strong finisher and key passer in front of the opponent’s goal.
Whiteman, Potts, and Jakobsen are all injured for Preston.
Bristol City’s injury list includes Conway, Weimann, and Benarous.
Preston: Woodman, Hughes, Lindsay, Storey; Brady, McCann, Ledson, Browne, Woodburn; Delap, Cannon;
Bristol City: Oleary; Pring, Atkinson, Vyner, Tanner; Scott, Naismith, James; Sykes, Wells, Semenyo;
