APWin Prediction

Over 2.5 Goals

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Portsmouth to win the 1st half

Portsmouth is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Preston North End a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Portsmouth to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Preston North End vs Portsmouth is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.59.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.
