Since Preston returned to the Championship in 2015, they were almost regularly a mid-table team. This year, the team from Lancashire started the Championship with only four points from five league matches. In the last game, they played 1-1 on the road against Middlesbrough. The home side was significantly better, as they finished the match with 11 shots on the goal more than Preston, but Paul Heckinbottom's team found a way to pick up a valuable point. 

Every season since Fulham returned to the Premier League, the main goal is to avoid relegation. This year, they are again one of the weakest teams, as most Premier League teams have much bigger budgets. However, Fulham have a solid start to the 2024/25 season with five points from four league rounds. In the previous match, they played 1-1 at home against West Ham. Fulham were close to all three points as they had a lead until the second half's stoppage time when the opponents scored an equalizer. 

Preston vs Fulham pick: Under 2.5 goals

Preston scored only two goals in the last two matches. On the other hand, Fulham scored only four goals in the previous three games. Fulham is better than Preston, but under 2.5 goals seems a safer bet.
