Fulham to win with both teams scoring
Although Preston have been playing well recently, they tend to fall short whenever they play against Fulham; Ryan Lowe's men won just one of the last nine encounters between these sides, with three draws and five losses, and even that win was at home. On the other hand, Fulham have been one of the best home teams in the league; they lost just four times in 20 home games, with 12 wins and four draws. Additionally, both teams scored in eight of the last nine meetings between Fulham and Preston; and for this reason, we believe that Fulham will win, and Preston will find the net.
Expecting goals
Fulham have been by far the highest-scoring team in the Championship; they've scored at least 33 more goals than any other team in the league. Marco Silva's men have been very consistent when it comes to scoring goals; as they've done so in 19 of their last 20 games. Similarly, Preston have scored their fair share of goals recently, they scored in all of their last three games. We've already mentioned that eight of the last nine clashes between these teams saw both teams scoring; we would also like to point out that six of those games went above the 2.5 goal mark. On that note, we should expect some goals here.
