In the current championship, Preston does not stand out in anything special. The team alternates victories and defeats. It won 12 games and lost 14 times. In the last match, Preston interrupted a 3-match winless streak with a victory over a neighbor in the standings, Blackburn (1-2). The Lilywhites have a 34-37 goal difference.

Watford played in the Premier League last season, but as we can see, it played poorly. However, the club is full of desire to come back and prove its worth in an elite company. The Hornets reinforce their ambitions with 14 victories in 29 rounds. They earned 51 points, took 4th place in the standings, and almost secured playoff matches for promotion, as they are ahead of the 7th Cardiff by 11 points. Moreover, there are quite real chances to compete for a direct ticket to the top. The gap to the 2nd Brentford is only 6 points, and everything can change after 15 rounds.
It is unlikely that ambitious Watford will leave Preston without points. In six out of the last nine head-to-head matches, the Hornets did not lose to the upcoming counterpart. And now they are in excellent shape. In the last round, Watford simply destroyed Preston's neighbor in the standings, 12th Bristol (6-0). Well, we are unlikely to see such a score in the upcoming match. Watford arranged such a goal extravaganza for the first time in the championship. In general, only five of its games ended with Over 3.5 goals scored. Let me remind you that Preston also played five times with such an outcome, but four of them were on the road. It is much more pragmatic at the native stadium. From the above, it is quite possible to conclude the following - the visitors will not lose, and the viewers will not see more than three goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Watford to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
