Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Scott Twine 1+ shot on target4/5 with LadbrokesScott Twine opened his account for the season with a goal against Birmingham last week, but it’s the shots on target market where I like his price this week. Ladbrokes have him at 4/5 for 1+ on target against Preston which looks solid considering he has done so in four of his last five away matches. His figures in that time read: 3,2,0,1,2.
Bristol City to Win7/5Bristol City are starting to find their rhythm under Michael Skubala, with a draw and a win from their last two matches. They can build on that momentum against a Preston side still struggling to get going.
Preston are yet to take the lead in a competitive game this season, highlighting their slow start. Bristol City look the more settled side and can edge a tight contest at Deepdale, making 7/5 on an away win appealing.

How Preston go into the game

Preston were beaten 1-0 at Charlton at the weekend, a second defeat that leaves them under early pressure. A response is needed at Deepdale.

North End are typically well-drilled and awkward at home. Bouncing back against a fancied side is the aim.

How Bristol City go into the game

Bristol City beat Portsmouth 2-1 at the weekend, a solid home win. They travel to Preston with promotion ambitions.

The Robins are well-organised and eyeing a top-eight finish. Backing up that win on the road is the next step.
