THE PREDICTION
Stoke and Preston each head into this one with little to play for other than pride with both teams marooned in mid table obscurity. Whilst you’d expect to two sides to show a high amount of attacking intent for this reason, recent results would suggest otherwise. Both teams have seen under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games, leading us to believe that another low scoring affair is in prospect here at the Bet365 Stadium. The reverse fixture between the two sides saw a tight contest won 0-1 by the Potters and it would be a surprise if another close match wasn’t in the offing here. Therefore, under 2.5 goals scored once again has to be favoured.
