Expert Betting Tips
Both Hull City, who are winless in 12 of their last 13 games, and Preston North End, who have won just one of their previous 13 games, are in poor form now, and siding on either side is not the right choice. However, with the sameness in the forms, I will pick a draw, and it may likely be a goalless draw because recent matches between these two sides have ended goalless or have just one goal separating them, and I expect this game to follow suit.
