Preston North End v Sunderland Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Wednesday 6th November 2024
Preston North End got the better of Sunderland in the Carabao Cup earlier this season and the two sides lock horns in the Championship in what should prove to be a closely-fought affair on Wednesday evening.
Closer to the relegation zone
Following a decent run of form throughout October which saw Preston North End avoid defeat in five games, a 3-1 defeat at home to Bristol City last weekend sent the side closer to the relegation zone from where they currently sit just two points adrift. Preston need to tighten up considerably at the back, the side conceding eleven goals in their four-game winless stretch, and while Preston have generally enjoyed their meetings with midweek visitors Sunderland – the Lilywhites losing just four of the last seventeen meetings between the sides – two of those losses have been in the last three meetings.
Unbeaten in six
Sunderland will be going all-out to avenge their cup defeat earlier in the season but in fairness they are rarely successful at Deepdale with just a single win from their last six visits to this venue. Sunderland’s away form has been little to write home about despite their lofty position at the summit of the division, their last seven away games returning just three wins. Regis Le Bris’ men head into this clash unbeaten in six however, and they will be desperate to maintain the three-point gap between themselves and second-placed Leeds United.
Tough assignment
This will be a tough assignment for both sides and despite the disparity in league position, we envisage this being a closely-fought encounter. Sunderland have a less-than-impressive record at Deepdale and we envisage the home side forcing their high-flying opponents to share the spoils in this one.
Back a draw at best odds of 9/4
