Preston vs Cardiff Prediction & Tips
After Preston got back to winning ways by beating Portsmouth 2-1 at home, the club drew again last weekend. Stoke City visited Preston and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. The “Potters” played better, as the xG index of 0.53 – 2.15 indicates, but could only equalise from the penalty spot in the 75th minute.
However, the club has no serious reason for concern: the distance to the relegation zone is a comfortable seven points, which gives some confidence for the upcoming matches. However, the penchant for draws, of course, unsettles the fans. At home, in 20 games, Preston have drawn 11 times, with seven wins and two draws.
For their part, the Bluebirds are struggling to maintain their place in the Championship and are currently 22nd in the table. However, the team has performed well in the last few games, going unbeaten in three consecutive matches. In the end, Derby County are only ahead of them by additional criteria, and Stoke City are only two points ahead of them.
On the last matchday, Cardiff faced QPR away from home and the match ended in a 0-0 draw. Before that, the Bluebirds drew 1-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. In 20 away matches, the team has only managed two wins and suffered eight defeats.
