Bournemouth Preview – Another comfortable win for the Cherries?
Bournemouth have made a stunning start to their league season. After suffering heartbreak in the play-offs at the end of last term, the Cherries have dusted themselves down and got on with the task at hand.
Ahead of this round of fixtures, Bournemouth find themselves five points clear at the top of the Championship table. The Dorset club are the only unbeaten team in the second tier, winning 11 and drawing four of 15. In the process, they have scored 26 and conceded just eight.
Bournemouth have won five games in a row and nine of their past ten in the Championship. The league leaders will be eyeing up another three points here. The home win is available at just 11/20.
Preston North End Preview – Can the Lilywhites cause an upset on the road?
Preston North End have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this campaign. The Lilywhites have won four, drawn six and lost five. Only Derby County, who sit bottom, have drawn more games so far this season.
Frankie McAvoy’s men picked up a much-needed 2-0 home win over Luton Town last weekend, which was only their second league success since August. On the flip side, they have not been an easy nut to crack of late, losing only two of their previous 12 Championship matches.
