Preston
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Watford
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town, Preston will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Watford in the Championship round 22. The Lilywhites have a nice opportunity to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach against Watford. Milutin Osmajic misses out with a groin problem, while Saturday’s clash comes too early for Emil Riis Jakobsen.
The Hornets, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening to drop to 12th place in the standings. Watford and Preston, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. The Hornets head coach Valerien Ismael has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Lilywhites.
