The recently promoted Leicester City head to Preston to try and clinch the Championship title with one match to spare.

Preston vs Leicester City Prediction

Preston's late-season slump took another turn for the worse last weekend as an early Lyndon Dykes strike proved enough to send all three points the way of QPR at Loftus Road.

Ryan Lowe now faces the unenviable task of ending a three-match losing streak against the league leaders.

Leicester produced when it mattered most on Tuesday night, scoring four goals in the space of 19 second-half minutes to secure a dominant 5-0 home win against fourth-placed Southampton.

Back-to-back wins mean that the Foxes are four points clear of second-placed Leeds heading into the their penultimate fixture.

Score Prediction: Preston 0-3 Leicester (11/1 William Hill)

Preston vs Leicester City Tips

Leicester To Win @ 5/8 VBet (1 point)

Leicester are just one win away from crowning their return to the Premier League as champions and I’m banking on them getting the job done against Preston. Enzo Maresca’s side beat Southampton 5-0 in their last match and look back to their best. 

The Foxes have wobbled at times since the turn of the year but they are undoubtedly the strongest team in the division.

Preston have lost their last three matches without getting on the scoresheet. They have nothing to play for at this stage so it is difficult to see them pulling off an upset here. Ryan Lowe’s side lost the reverse fixture 3-0, managing just one shot on target in the process.
