Lilywhites to Keep Things Tight Against Boro

We’ll split our stake by backing Preston +0.25 at odds of -112 for this Asian Handicap wager. It means we have a return if they draw but a nice payout should the home team claim a victory against Middlesbrough.

1-1 Draw in Pair’s Last Meeting

Preston North End got the win in their last game. It was a 2-1 away triumph at Vicarage Road Stadium when meeting Watford. Paul Heckingbottom's side ended up with just 35% possession and had seven shots on target, while Milutin Osmajic grabbed the goals.

Middlesbrough won their previous game which was at home. It was a 2-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion at Riverside Stadium. The Teeside outfit had 45% possession and four shots on goal, while Hayden Hackney and Ben Doak were both on target.

Riverside Stadium played host to the most recent head-to-head when home side Middlesbrough drew 1-1 with Preston. The past 10 H2H matches have seen Preston triumph five times, one draw and four Middlesbrough wins.
