5th September PRESTON - BLACKBURN

The market leans one way without any real conviction. Preston is the shortest price on a book of 2.30 / 3.25 / 3.00 (1 / X / 2), an implied 40.4%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 40.4% / 28.6% / 31.0% on an overround of 7.6%.

The draw is unusually well backed at 3.25 (28.6%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

In the league table Preston sit 24th on 0 points (0W 0D 4L) with Blackburn 13th on 5 points (1W 2D 1L).

Preston read L-L-L-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 0D 5L) — a badly out of sorts side.

Blackburn read D-L-W-D-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

Head to head the record reads 1-2-3 — Preston wins, draws, then Blackburn wins. Their last meeting finished Blackburn - Preston: 1-0.

The read: Everything here points at a tight, low-tempo game. The draw at 3.25 is the selection the numbers keep coming back to, and the unders are the natural second look.
