Things have gone from bad to worse for Preston, who enter this Championship clash on a four-game losing streak in all competitions. The Lilywhites were beaten 1-0 by Charlton last time out, managing just one shot on target, although their 0.91 xG suggests they created enough for a better attacking return. Their home form is particularly worrying, with Preston winning none of their last five at Deepdale and averaging just 0.60 goals per game across that run. Carroll and McCann remain doubtful, while Potts is still sidelined.
Bristol City, on the other hand, head into the game in a more positive mood after securing a 2-1 victory over Portsmouth, their first triumph of the campaign. The Robins have scored in seven of their last 10 matches and have a strong record in this fixture, with 20 of the previous 32 H2H meetings ending with both teams scoring. Bristol have also failed to win any of their last four away games, though Luke McNally should be their only absentee.
As Preston's home form makes them difficult to trust, we believe that there is big value in betting on Bristol City or Draw, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 1.5 goals (26 of the previous 32 encounters produced at least two goals).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 19:45.
