Preston North End vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction
Preston North End's latest result ended a three-game unbeaten run in the league. They are, however, unbeaten in their last three home games and will be hoping to maximize their home advantage next week.
Blackburn Rovers are on a five-game winless run and have won just one of their last nine. The hosts should win this one.
