Following a 1-1 draw with Wrexham, Preston aim to return to winning ways, but given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict a 3-1 win over Coventry City. The Lilywhites have been averaging 1.40 PPG at home, with goals rarely lacking—Preston matches feature 2.80 goals per game, and their 80% BTTS rate shows how often they trade blows. Defensively, however, the hosts are fragile, conceding 1.40 goals per home match and keeping 0% clean sheets at Deepdale this season. Their injury list only worsens the situation: Brady, Gibson, Lewis, McCann, Potts, and Osmajic are all unavailable, stretching Ryan Lowe’s squad heavily.
The league leaders have been in a fine form of late, winning four of their last five and boasting a perfect home run alongside an impressive 1.80 PPG away. Their attack is one of the league’s most efficient, scoring 2.30 goals per match overall, supported by a strong 1.96 xG average. While they concede 1.80 goals per away game, their offensive edge often compensates. Frank Lampard is without Dovin and Thomas-Asante, though neither absence appears damaging given Coventry’s current momentum.
Given aforementioned statistical data, Away Win, Over 2.5 goals and BTTS seem like the best options for the Deepdale showdown.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 19:45.
