Match analysis

The two meetings between Preston and Blackburn this season have produced just one goal and three goals respectively, and that tight head-to-head history is behind Superior's Under 3.5 goals pick at 1.29 for their Championship date on 5 September, priced at a 78 percent probability.

The last two meetings totaled one goal and three goals

Preston lost both recent meetings with Blackburn, 0-1 in February and 1-2 in November, neither of them threatening this line. Blackburn's away form backs that up too, with an attack rating of 6.6 that has converted none of its shots on target in its most recent outing, keeping Blackburn's own scoring at 1.2 goals a game against Preston's 0.6.

Preston have conceded four goals twice in their last five games

The pick loses if this produces four goals or more, and Preston's own defensive record away from the head-to-head series is shaky, with a 0-4 and a 1-3 both inside their last five. If Blackburn's attack finds a sharper afternoon than its recent conversion rate suggests, Preston's leaky defence is the route past 3.5.
