Preston v Luton preview
Both team will head into Saturday afternoon’s Championship fixture at Deepdale looking for their first wins of the league campaign this season, after each suffering slow starts to the new campaign.
Luton make the trip to Lancashire as favourites due to being among the top candidates for promotion this season following their relegation from the Premier League last time around.
Rob Edwards’ side have started the new campaign with just one win from their opening two matches though, suffering a heavy 4-1 home defeat in their opener to fellow relegated Burnley, before drawing 0-0 with newly-promoted Portsmouth last weekend.
The results leave the Hatters down in 20th place ahead of the third of the weekend of the new season, but face opponents on Saturday in the midst of an incredibly turbulent start to the new campaign.
Preston head into this weekend’s game, their third of the league season, and will be under the tutelage of their third manager of the campaign too.
Previous manager Ryan Lowe departed the club after just one game of the new season, in which they fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Sheffield United.
Mike Marsh then took over as caretaker manager for their second game, but also left the club following 3-0 defeat away at Swansea, which leaves Preston second bottom of the Championship table, yet to collect a point from their opening two games.
A replacement manager has been announced though, in the form of former Leeds and Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom, who managed the latter in the Premier League for most of the first half of least season.
📝 Preston v Luton betting tips
Luton will head into Saturday’s match as favourites, with the stronger squad on paper and coming against a Preston side seemingly bereft of any confidence.
The Hatters would have expected themselves to earn victory over Portsmouth last weekend but weren’t helped by a couple of moments of madness from goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski which saw him receive a red card in the first half.
Edwards and co will see Saturday’s match as a perfect opportunity to add the first stroke to their winning tally, though Preston’s players will equally be keen to impress under their new boss.
A 2-1 win for Luton seems the most likely outcome of the match, which SBK are offering at 41/5.
