Preston North End will be playing their third home game in the space of a week as Darren Ferguson's men prepare to take on Sheffield Wednesday.
This game comes on the back of North End's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on the weekend, a game that saw the Lilywhites race to a 3-0 victory at half time over the high-flying Forest.
Following this latest victory, the Lilywhites go into the game against Wednesday after remaining unbeaten in their last four games, winning two of these, starting with the impressive 3-0 victory over Cardiff City at Deepdale.
With this in mind, pnebetting.com have got Ferguson's men at odds of 10/11 to get their second victory in a row, with a draw at 12/5 and a victory for the returning Alan Irvine and his Wednesday side at 3/1.
Below is a list of bets which may tempt North End fans:
- 5/1 for Chris Brown to score first or last
- 6/1 for PNE to win 1-0, 7/1 for the Lilywhites to win 2-0 or 16/1 for North End to win 3-0
- 4/1 for the game to be drawn at half time but Preston to win the game
- 5/4 for Preston to keep a clean sheet. This bet was taken from pnebetting's Match Specials
A market which could be straight forward to make money on is the corners market. Since the away game against Derby County in mid February, there have been less than 12 corners in four of the last five PNE matches. You can get odds of 10/11 for there to be under 12 corners in the game against Wednesday; £5 on this will see you double your money.
Another intriguing bet to consider is 45/1 for Ross Wallace to score first in 2-0 victory. Wallace has opened the scoring for North End on four occasions this season and is at good odds to do so in a 2-0 victory. If you just want to bet on the winger scoring the opener then pnebetting.com are offering odds of 17/2.
For this game, pnebetting.com have a list of match specials, including 9/2 for North End to win in both halves and 7/1 for the Lilywhites to win from behind.
Our bet of the week is 120/1 for Matty James to score the first in a 3-1 victory. North End have proved a threat in recent weeks, scoring three against promotion hopefuls Forest and Cardiff and if you think that three will be the magic number again, then why not put a tenner on this bet. If it does come into fruition, a £10 bet would see a return of a staggering £1210!
