Back Lilywhites to Win

We’ll back Preston with a fair degree of confidence when they clash with Plymouth. At betting odds of 1.83 on the Full-Time Result market, this looks a value pick and we expect a return.

Teams Drew 3-3 in Last H2H Encounter

Preston North End have been defeated in their last three games. Away from home, they recently suffered a 2-1 loss against Hull City at The MKM Stadium. Paul Heckingbottom's team enjoyed 56% possession and had two shots on target, while Lewis Gibson was the goalscorer.

Survival-chasing Plymouth Argyle have experienced back-to-back road defeats. In their previous game, they beat Coventry City at home, winning 3-1 at Home Park. The Devon side had just 27% of the ball and recorded five shots on goal, with Mustapha Bundu finding the net twice and Ryan Hardie scoring one.

Preston are unbeaten when it comes to the past three games against Plymouth, with the last clash ending in a 3-3 draw at Home Park. The past 3 H2H matches have included two Preston wins along with a single draw.
