THE PREDICTION
Cardiff extended their winning run to four matches with a 0-2 triumph away to Luton, meaning that the Bluebirds remain unbeaten under new boss Mick McCarthy. The Welsh side could well be the team who breaks from the pack in midtable to make that late playoff push and will be confident of victory once again here vs Preston. The hosts will need to be on their guard as the Lilywhites have proven themselves as an extremely dangerous opponent capable of beating anyone on their day. However, when taking into account the form of Cardiff and quality of players they possess then it’s difficult in envisage any outcome other than a home win in this one.
