Preston Set to Score Against Strong Southampton Defence

Preston average 0.8 goals a game at Deepdale this season while Southampton concede 1.3 goals per away game. The visitors keep only three clean sheets from thirteen matches and have seen both teams score in ten of those. Preston have failed to score in five league games but still managed eight matches with goals at both ends. Southampton arrive in good shape after four wins and a draw in their last five outings yet their away record shows more goals conceded than at home. Head to head meetings have produced over 2.5 goals in four of the last five encounters and Preston claimed one victory in that run. At home Preston have yet to keep a clean sheet in thirteen games. The key test will be whether Southampton's organised back line can prevent Preston from finding the net once more.
