Eighteen places and 19 points separate these clubs. Southampton are sixth on 24 points, while Preston sit bottom on five, and that is the backdrop for this Preston North End vs Southampton prediction. The Lilywhites have won once in 14 Championship games, while the Saints have lost twice.
Preston's six games under Graham Alexander ended 0-1, 0-4, 1-4, 1-1, 0-2 and 2-3, with no win among them. That is 15 goals conceded and just four scored. Deepdale has given no shelter either, since the Lilywhites have lost five of seven home league games and let in 13 goals there.
Southampton, meanwhile, arrives with 29 goals from 14 league games and six matches without defeat. The Saints won at Norwich and West Ham, then drew at West Brom on Tuesday. Leo Scienza missed that draw through injury, but Tonda Eckert is hopeful of having him back on Saturday.
What’s more, Southampton's last two visits to Deepdale brought a 3-1 victory in May and a 2-2 draw in October 2023. Preston have scored only 12 goals in 14 league games, and against the Saints, who have scored 29 times, their chances of walking away with something look slim.
