Preston vs Portsmouth Predictions

Lilywhites to edge victory

Preston and Portsmouth look evenly matched, but Preston should be backed to get the victory at Deepdale. 

The hosts are 14th in the table with 44 points, just two ahead of 17th-placed Portsmouth.

They are three places above Portsmouth in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Preston are 14th with nine wins and 11 defeats, while Portsmouth are 17th with 11 wins and 16 losses.

Preston have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just 14 goals in 18 Championship games – an average of 0.78 goals per game.

Portsmouth have sustained nine defeats in their last 11 Championship away games and, with six of Preston’s nine victories this season coming by one goal, a narrow 1-0 success for the hosts appeals as the correct score.
