Preston North End would be gunning to end Middlesbrough’s perfect start to the 2025-26 Championship campaign on Saturday in a matchday five fixture. This match at Deepdale between the ninth-placed Lilywhites and the top-ranked Boro comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.

With seven points (W2, D1, L1), Preston start this round one point outside the top six places. Boro won all four and start this round with a two-point advantage over West Brom.

Preston lost 1-0 away at Portsmouth before the international break, making it two competitive defeats in a row. The other loss was in the EFL Cup when they lost 3-2 at home to Wrexham.

Those defeats were a minor hurdle for the Lilywhites, who stitched together a run of three consecutive wins before that losing run. That included consecutive wins at home in the Championship, and they can be a force to reckon with.

Middlesbrough edged out Sheffield United 1-0 at home before the break to continue their winning start to the campaign. That was also their third clean sheet of the campaign, making them the best defensive unit of the season so far.

The only goal they conceded came away from home at Norwich, but they will be tested at a venue where they lost on each of their last five visits.

Our Preston North End vs Middlesbrough Prediction

Middlesbrough are the only remaining Championship side with a 100% record, but that could be put to the test here by Preston. The hosts have seen their winning run halted by a sequence of consecutive defeats, but the break would have done a world of good. To go with that, they have won both their league games at home in this campaign and also boast a good recent record against Middlesbrough at this venue.

This could be a close game, and our Preston North End vs Middlesbrough prediction is both teams to score.
