Today's Predictions for Preston vs Blackburn

Preston put their six-match unbeaten run at home on the line when they host Blackburn in a Lancashire derby on Saturday. Read our top Preston vs Blackburn predictions for this weekend’s fixture.

Preston to Win

Preston were outgunned by Swansea in Wales in midweek, though North End have been performing much better at home of late and having won four and drawn two of their last six Championship assignments at Deepdale, they are favoured to pick up maximum points again when Lancashire rivals Blackburn visit on Saturday. Rovers have gone six games without a win and they were beaten 4-1 at home by Preston when the teams last met in December. Everything points towards a home win here and our first Preston vs Blackburn prediction advises a stake in that direction.

Over 2.5 Goals

Six goals hit the net when Preston lost at Swansea (2-4) in midweek and many of North End’s recent league fixtures have been high-octane events. Five of their last seven games in the Championship have produced over 2.5 goals and Preston put four goals past Blackburn when the neighbours last clashed before Christmas. The goals could flow again this weekend’s rematch, and another wager on over 2.5 goals could be the way to go.

Preston vs Blackburn Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Preston vs Blackburn lineups and team news for Saturday’s Championship fixture below.

Preston

Ched Evans remains a long-term absentee for Blackburn, while Greg Cunningham and Emil Riis Jakobsen will also be out injured for lengthy spells. Midfielder Alan Browne's season has also been ended by an MCL injury. Preston are still just two points outside the playoff zone despite their midweek loss at Swansea.

Predicted Lineup for Preston: Woodman – Storey, Lindsay, Hughes – Whiteman, Potts, Ledson, Johnson, Fernandez – Parrott, Cannon

Blackburn

Jack Vale, Daniel Ayala and Clinton Mola are all out injured for Blackburn at present. Rovers came within a whisker of beating Coventry in midweek, though they were denied the points by a 95th-minute equalizer from away keeper Ben Wilson.

Predicted Lineup for Blackburn: Pears – Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Brittain – Travis, Wharton, Szmodics – Gallagher, Brereton, Hedges

Player to Watch – Tom Cannon

Tom Cannon just cannot stop scoring and the Everton loanee notched his seventh goal in eight appearances for Preston when he found the net against Swansea in midweek. The 20-year-old is on fire at present and Cannon looks like a potential match-winner for North End again on Saturday.
