The read

The desk

Preston arrive without a win in five matches and have lost three of their last five at Deepdale, while Sheffield Utd have won three of their last five on the back of a poor run away from home. The history here leans heavily toward the visitors, and goals look the safer read than backing Preston's revival.

Preston haven't won in 5 matches (0W 2D 3L) and have lost 3 of their last 5 at home; across the last 10 meetings with Sheffield Utd, Preston have won just twice to the visitors' 5, so neither recent form nor the head to head backs a home side or a draw.

The research desk on this game:

“Preston's home misery and Sheffield's away advantage point toward goals and a visitors' result.”

Every market graded strong, medium or killed, and the desk's own word on the model's call, with the reason written down. In FBB Pro, on this game and every other. Seven days for £1
