Preston North End secured a 1-0 win over Hull City in their last game, with the only goal scored by Brad Potts in the 60th minute.

Expert Betting Tips

Preston have been experiencing a challenging run in their previous game, with just two wins in their last 14 games, but they have a great record playing against the Owls at this stadium. With this, I see a draw in this game with the possibility of both sides finding the net. However, I don’t expect many goals in the game because less than three goals were scored in the last five games between the two sides.
