Preston host Portsmouth in a Championship clash that could see momentum swing in favor of the visitors. Therefore, our prediction points toward a 2-1 away win. The Lilywhites are struggling for form, failing to win in their last 5 matches, with all Brady, Hughes, and Iversen unavailable. Preston’s home record isn’t encouraging either: just 0.8 points per game, 0.8 goals scored per match, and clean sheets in only 20% of games. Brady, Hughes, and Iversen are all injured for the hosts.
Portsmouth have been in a better shape, unbeaten in 3 of their last 5, including a convincing 3-0 win over West Brom. They score 1.3 goals per game overall and boast a 70% BTTS record in recent matches. Their away form is decent, with 1.25 points per game and goals in 75% of matches. Portsmouth's injury list is still long, they know how to cope with the current situation.
Head-to-head history is balanced: 2 wins each and 3 draws in 7 meetings, with 57% over 1.5 goals and 57% BTTS. With Preston struggling at home, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Away Win. Given recent stats, BTTS and Over 1.5 goals bets should also be considered.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 7 February 2026 at 15:01.
