Preston will be at home seeking their first win of the season when Bristol City visits in the Championship. Heading into the game, Bristol are 12th in the standings, while Preston sit second from the bottom. Bristol have been building up to their first win, and in our prediction, we are backing them to make it two.
Preston had a slight improvement in only conceding one goal in their latest outing. However, the 1-0 defeat at Charlton was still an expose of their struggles at these early stages of the season.
The Lilywhites have now failed to score in two straight matches and have lost each of the last four. They are one of two sides yet to register a point in the league.
Bristol City had started their season in the same fashion as their hosts, but recent matches have come with a gradual rise. The visitors were eliminated from the League Cup in the first round after losing 1-0 to Walsall.
That was followed by a league opening defeat, 2-0 to Millwall. After this tough start, the Robins started picking up with a 2-2 draw away against Birmingham before recording their maiden win of the season.
That was in a 2-1 victory at home against Portsmouth. There is still work to do, given that they haven’t recorded a clean sheet yet this season.

Our Preston North End vs Bristol City Prediction
Preston have a poor run to take into this game, having lost each of the last four matches. In the league, they are one of the two sides yet to register a win, and they have also failed to score in their last two matches. It doesn’t help their cause that in their last two home matches, they conceded seven goals.
This run will excite Bristol City, who have registered an improvement in their season in the recent matches. The visitors are coming from their first win and two outings undefeated. With that, our prediction for Preston v Bristol City is for Bristol City to win.
