Preston vs Blackburn Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

The bookmakers have priced up the Full-Time Result odds and Preston North End are +150 to come out on top, while Blackburn Rovers are +195. The draw is available at +210 if you expect the clash to finish level.

If Preston only draw with Blackburn, then the Asian Handicap -0.25 wager means you get half your stake back. However, you get a full payout at +112 if they’re able to land a victory.

A low-scoring contest will be predicted by several which is reflected in the fact that Under 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds. If you think both teams will score, then BTTS Yes could appeal. Otherwise, you can back BTTS No as an alternative.
