Match preview

Our model makes Sheffield Utd clear favourites, giving them a 54% chance of winning against 25% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.86 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.5 goals in total (0.88 for Preston, 1.58 for Sheffield Utd), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Preston sit 24th on 5 points; Sheffield Utd are 10th on 19.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
