Preston North End vs Birmingham City
English League
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2024
Start at 15pm UK
Location: Deepdale, Preston.

Saturday afternoon's action brings us an interesting clash between Preston and Birmingham City at Deepdale Stadium.

The hosts have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the new season, very difficult to predict as they have demonstrated the ability to beat some of the best and lose to the weaker teams in the first six weeks.

Birmingham City also follow a similar pattern, being just one place behind The Lillywhites. However, his form and number of points gained in October are much worse.

Overall, the bookmakers are slightly favoring the home team with a 2,10 chance of taking all three points in this match, while the Blues' chances of doing the same are 3,60.

Preston vs Birmingham Prediction

Preston fans were expecting a lot more from this midweek home clash against Millwall after beating QPR and Huddersfield Town back-to-back.

Unfortunately, Alex Neil's side didn't seem to have a clue, losing the game 0-2 and halting their progress into the top six.

The Lillywhites are currently in thirteenth place with ten points from eight games, largely thanks to the fantastic stats of Scott Sinclair, who has scored four goals to date.

Birmingham City are level on points thanks to their most recent 2-1 home win over Huddersfield Town. Victory was secured in stoppage time thanks to a goal by Lukas Jutkiewicz. That win ended a six-game losing streak without a win for the Blues.

However, we don't believe they can avoid defeat in Deepdale. Preston definitely has the quality to compete for the playoffs.
