Deepdale is set for an intense Championship showdown as Preston North End take on Sheffield United on Friday night.
Preston have struggled for consistency recently, but at home they will be determined to turn things around and claim all three points. Sheffield United, on the other hand, are riding a wave of confidence after back-to-back wins under Chris Wilder and will look to extend their streak.

Preston vs Sheffield United Betting Tips
- Preston to win or draw
- Goals Under 2.5 – (4/6)
- Sydie Peck to be carded (15/4)
Preston to Win – 21/20
Preston have been solid at home, winning three of their six league games there. Sheffield United have struggled on the road and haven’t drawn a match yet this season. The home advantage could be decisive in a tight encounter but to give a bit of insurance to our bet, go for Preston to win or draw the match.
Goals Under 2.5 – 6/10
Both teams have shown defensive discipline recently, and with Preston looking to control the game at home and Sheffield United happy to hit on the counter, a low-scoring affair is likely in the Friday Night fixture so under 2.5 goals is the play here.
Player to be Carded Tip – Sydie Peck (15/4)
The Sheffield United midfielder has been carded four times already this season, including in their most recent match against Blackburn. If Preston are going to be on the front foot in this match as we predict, then the Sheffield United midfield will see a lot of the play and that plays right into the hands of one or more of their midfielders going into the book.
Preston vs Sheffield United Prediction
Expect a tight, competitive game at Deepdale. Preston are slightly favoured to win, but goals will likely be hard to come by. A narrow home victory seems the most probable outcome.
