James Buttler looks ahead to the Friday evening's kick-off in the Championship and it's a Lancashire derby between Rovers and North End. He finds the very best bets.
It’s a Lancashire derby at Ewood Park on Friday evening as seventh-placed Blackburn Rovers host Preston North End who are down in 15th. Rovers have lost their last three in the league including a 2-0 defeat to Coventry in their last home match, whereas Preston earned a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough to extend their unbeaten streak to four.
Preston have had the better of recent Championship meetings
The reverse match at Deepdale finished 0-0 in September, but it’s Preston are unbeaten in their last five against Rovers with an aggregate 9-5 goal tally.
So, despite their respective league positions, it’s Preston that are in the best form and at 26/9 with Coral looks like a decent punt and even Preston win or draw at ¾ could be a safer pick.
But I’m taking the visitors and adding in their eight goal marksman Emil Riis Jakobsen to score. Preston with a Emil Riis goal is a very decent looking 17.5/1 with Coral. I really like the look at that at maybe a slightly smaller stakes play.
Please always gamble responsibly.
