THE PREDICTION
Watford got their promotion push firmly back on track at the weekend with a thumping 6-0 win over Bristol City. The big question now is whether they can maintain it as they travel to a Preston side fresh off the back of a 1-2 Lancashire derby victory over Blackburn. The Hornets have failed to score in their last two games away from home, but following such a resounding victory, they’ll be hoping to turn a corner here. Preston’s inconsistency continues to frustrate their supporters, but on their day they can beat anyone in the Championship. Their last two matches saw over 2.5 goals scored in both fixtures and considering the free scoring form of Watford, it would be no surprise if the same outcome was to occur in this contest no matter who comes out on top.
