Hoping to extend their stay in the automatic positions, Bournemouth will host Preston from behind closed doors on Tuesday night in what could be a lively encounter.

Starting with the hosts, while they would have been disappointed to have only collected a point over the weekend, they are still firmly battling it out in the promotion chase. In their 14 Championship matchups so far this year, they have recorded seven wins, six draws and just a single defeat, scoring 23 and conceding 13 in return. Opening up the midweek fixtures with a points tally of 27 and sat just a single point adrift of top-spot, it should also be noted that Bournemouth hold the best-attacking record in the division heading into December. As for their recent run of results, Tuesday’s hosts have collected 10 points over their last four Championship contests and they’re unbeaten on home soil so far this season. It’s also worth highlighting, three of Bournemouth’s last four fixtures have finished with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, slumping back to losing ways, it has been a hugely worrying start to the 2020/2021 campaign for Preston. In their opening 14 Championship contests so far this season, they have recorded five wins, one draw and eight defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 21 in return. Along with opening the midweek fixtures sat down in 18th and firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, it should be noted that Preston hold the second-worst defensive record in the division so far. As for their recent run of results, including back-to-back Championship defeats, the Whites have managed to collect just three points over their last four second-tier contests. With five of Preston’s last six matchups ending with over 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome on Tuesday night.
