Preston North End vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Despite playing at home, the bookmakers have made Preston North End out the outsiders, priced up at 4.0 and better to pull off a win. The visitors are currently the strong favourites but still offering great value at 1.9 to win, while the draw is currently returning in the region of 3.5. Neither of these sides have been particularly good in defense in the latter part of this season, and with it being the final day of the season, we can expect a fast-paced match with lots of chances. The both teams to score market grabs our attention, with odds of 1.66 available, while the slightly riskier over 2.5 goals and both teams to score option could reward its backers handsomely, currently showing up at 2.2 and better on most bookmakers. 

After being in contention for a playoff spot themselves, Preston North End hit a bit of a wall in the last month or so, and after losing 4-1 to Sheffield United in their last match, the hosts have now failed to win any of their last four league matches  with just one point earned. Over the course of the season, Preston have recorded seven wins, seven draws, and eight losses in 22 matches at Deepdale; however, they come into this one unbeaten in their last seven on home soil. Sunderland also played out a draw in their last match to Watford, though unlike their opponents, that draw took them to eight matches since their last defeat, including three wins and five draws. In away matches, Sunderland have won ten, drawn six, and lost six of their 22 on the road, and come into this one unbeaten in their last four, with ten points earned.
