Preston North End Preview – Can the Lilywhites secure first win in four?
Preston North End have had a topsy-turvy season so far. On their day, Alex Neil’s boys are capable of beating anyone in the Championship, but the Lilywhites have had far too many off days this term. Only Wycombe Wanderers and Rotherham United have lost more.
Preston have been in poor form of late, losing four of their last six in the league. After an excellent 2-1 away win against Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers two weeks ago, North End have gone on to take just one point from their following three. Last weekend, they were hammered 4-0 at Cardiff City, although the Lilywhites did hold in-form Queens Park Rangers to a goalless draw in midweek.
Preston are searching for their first victory at Deepdale in six. Since winning three in a row on home soil in December, North End have lost three and drawn two of five on their own patch.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Terriers’ poor away form to continue?
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield Town are in pretty miserable form, losing seven of their last ten in the Championship. After draws with Stoke City and Luton Town, the Terriers have suffered three defeats from four.
Last Saturday, Huddersfield stunned promotion chasing Swansea City, thumping the Welsh side 4-1 at the John Smith’s Stadium. Unfortunately for Corberan and his men, they could only follow that up with a 2-0 loss at Derby County in midweek.

Preston North End vs Huddersfield Town Betting Advice
With Preston struggling at home, while Huddersfield have one of the worst away records in the league, this is not an easy fixture to call. North End are the favourites on home soil, but the Terriers will be desperate to pick up their first away win since October.
Key Facts – Preston North End vs Huddersfield Town Betting Tip

It was an eventful game at the John Smith’s Stadium early in the season. Fraizer Campbell opened the scoring early on, but two Alan Browne goals just after half time turned the game on its head. Mahamadou-Naby Sarr was sent off late on for Huddersfield. This could be another close encounter between the pair, so back Preston to win by one at 3/1.
Browne was the hero in West Yorkshire, helping himself to a rare brace. The 25-year-old is available at 4/1 to score anytime in this one.
