Preston North End Preview – Can the Lilywhites build on Boro win?
Frankie McAvoy’s Preston North End have blown hot and cold lately. They were easily beaten by Nottingham Forest before the international break, falling to a 3-0 defeat at the City Ground. Then last weekend, lowly Cardiff City came from behind to win on their patch.
After those poor back-to-back losses, Preston upset Chris Wilder’s Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night. The Lilywhites were 1-0 down with 13 minutes to go, but late strikes from Ched Evans and Emil Ris Jakobsen turned the game on its head.
Preston would love to follow up the Middlesbrough win with a positive result against the league leaders on Saturday. The home victory is priced at 10/3, while the draw is available at 13/5.
Fulham Preview – Cottagers to return to winning ways?
Fulham’ seven-game winning streak came to an end in midweek. Marco Silva’s men were the red-hot favourites against Wayne Rooney’s Derby, but the bottom side held firm to hold the Cottagers to a goalless draw at the Cottage.
Only Bournemouth have picked up more away points than Fulham in this season’s Championship so far. Since a 4-1 loss to Coventry City back in early October, the London side have won three away matches on the bounce, scoring 12 and conceding none along the way.

Preston North End vs Fulham Betting Advice
On their way to promotion from the 2019-20 Championship, Fulham picked up an important 2-0 home win over Preston in February 2020. An own goal and a late Aboubakar Kamara effort did the business in that one.
However, when these two last squared off at Deepdale, Preston nicked a narrow 2-1 win. Sean Maguire and David Nugent were on target for the Lilywhites, while Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a consolation goal for Fulham – Denis Odoi and Joe Rafferty were both sent off in the spicy affair.
