Preston vs Wolves is a 3pm kick-off at Deepdale, with the relegated visitors strong favourites against a Preston side that finished mid-table last season.
Wolves drop into the Championship as one of the stronger sides on paper, while Preston will look to make Deepdale count. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below. The game kicks off at 3pm BST on Saturday, August 22nd.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is with the visitors, whose Premier League quality and strong recent record in this fixture make them deserved favourites.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Preston Double Chance | 1/1 | On Thursday, it was announced Kieron Trippier and Yerson Mosquera will both be out for 4-6 weeks, which is a huge blow for Wolves. With this in mind, Preston can cause them issues and prove stubborn, potentially stealing a point or better. |
| Raul Jimenez to score anytime | 6/4 | I fancy this to be a high-scoring game and with Raul Jimenez leading the Wolves line, he should find chances against Preston. At 6/5 to score anytime, the striker looks a strong play at Deepdale. After scoring off the bench against Blackburn, he should be rewarded with a start on Saturday. |

How Preston North End go into the game
Preston finished 14th last season on 60 points, a steady mid-table campaign at Deepdale. Making home advantage count will be key if they are to climb the table.
The Lilywhites are well organised and awkward at home, which they will need to be against strong opposition. Frustrating Wolves early looks the sensible approach.
How Wolverhampton Wanderers go into the game
Wolves drop into the Championship after relegation from the Premier League, and they carry one of the stronger squads in the division. Bouncing straight back is the aim.
Raul Jimenez and Adam Armstrong lead the attacking options and give them a real cutting edge. Wolves are also unbeaten in recent meetings with Preston, which adds to their confidence.
