Preston North End have been consistent in recent matches and will hope to extend that when hosting Burnley. These two sides clash in the 33rd round of the Championship, with Burnley in third place and Preston sitting 15th. Below we have a prediction for this match.
Preston advanced in the FA Cup after seeing off Wycombe Wanderers on post-match penalties. They backed it up with a key 1-0 win away to Norwich on returning to league action.
Now they face a tricky opponent and will want to make a statement as they chase a top six slot. While still in the bottom half, Preston’s 11-poing gap from the relegation zone signals their ambition.
With their latest 2-0 win against Hull City, Burnley have ticked all the right boxes for a team that’s Premier League bound. However, they are still out of the automatic promotion places by three points.
This is despite having the best defence and the least defeats across the Championship. The Clarets will once again be favorites in this match, as they are on three straight wins ahead of the game.
It has been 21 matches since they last tasted defeat, in November at Millwall. Away from home in the Championship, Burnley are unbeaten in nine matches, having won six in that run.

Our Preston North End vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley come into this game with the meanest defence in the Championship. They’ve also been the lowest scoring side among the leading four teams in the league. The Clarets have been consistent in slim wins this season. Preston are about to get a taste of that, the teams having drawn 0-0 in the first meeting.
The hosts scored more than once in only two of their last nine home league matches. With such returns we expect a low scoring game here. Our prediction for Preston North End v Burnley is for Burnley to win and under 2.5 goals.
