Nowgoal Prediction
Considering the nature of the derby, Blackburn's impressive away record at Deepdale, and the recent form suggesting defensive leaks for Preston but solid away results for Rovers, this fixture is expected to be closely contested with a low likelihood of many goals.Both sides are anticipated to find goalscoring opportunities scarce.Given the history of recent draws between the teams, coupled with the prediction of a tight, low-scoring affair where neither team wants to commit too heavily, the most likely outcome is a stalemate.Therefore, a tight encounter resulting in a draw is predicted.
