Lilywhites to get back on track
Bet 1: Back Preston 6/5 – KO 15:00 BST
The break came just at the right time for Preston as they were in dreadful form and in danger of dropping out of the Play-off places.
They resume in sixth place, but with just three points covering sixth to 11th, they can’t afford to make a slow start.
Alex Neil’s men have a decent fixture to begin with as they travel to Luton, with the hosts second from bottom.
The Hatters had lost just one of their last six, so they have been disadvantaged by the gap in fixtures, and with home advantage all but eradicated, it will be hard for them to regain the momentum they had.
Forest to boost their promotion hopes
Bet 2: Back Nottingham Forest @ 9/5 – KO 15:00 BST
Sheffield Wednesday have enough points not to have to seriously worry about relegation, but they won’t be making the Play-offs this season, and Garry Monk’s side had been pretty poor in 2020.
Sabri Lamouchi’s team head north, sitting in fifth place – four points clear of Preston in sixth. Automatic promotion is very unlikely indeed, but they are odds-on to make the Play-offs.
Forest are a better team than the Owls at this point, and they are a big price at 9/5 to win at Hillsborough.
Tykes on their way back to League One
Bet 3: Back QPR @ 23/20 – KO 15:00 BST
Barnsley are bottom of the league – seven points from safety. They have won just eight of their 37 matches since their promotion to the Championship, which is the least amount of wins in the entire division.
The selection are no world-beaters, but they are safely berthed in 13th place, and had been improving under Mark Warburton.
They should prove too strong at Loftus Road, this afternoon.
