What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Preston and 1.6 from Southampton, so Southampton come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Southampton come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Southampton or Draw. This covers Southampton or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.16, which works out at about 86 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Preston have not won any of their last five.
✓Southampton are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.
✓Three of the last four meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last four meetings.
