1.61Tip and bets
The hosts are superior to their opponents in class, and home advantage should help the club to win against Charlton. Preston have not won yet this season and the cup match with an opponent from the third division is a great chance to regain confidence in their abilities. We believe that the favorite will be able to get through to the next round.
Our prediction is Preston win at 2.10
Bet on total
The hosts are unlikely to sit back in defense in a match with an outsider. The team has not left the field without a goal for a long time, and it is unlikely that this trend will be interrupted in the cup match. The visitors have also often played high-scoring matches recently, so we think that the opponents will put on a real show for the fans.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 2.25
Bet on corners
Preston will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Charlton are not going to sit in defense either, there should be a lot of corners.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.96
