What a match we have in store on Sunday! It’s a local derby as play-off hopefuls Fleetwood face automatic promotion hopefuls Preston. Who will come out on top? Our tipster Ross Casey previews...

Fleetwood v Preston (Sunday, 14:15, Sky Sports 1)

ROSS CASEY’S VERDICT:

Draw @ 14/5 – BET NOW

Joe Garner @ 29/20 – BET NOW

I believe that this tip offers some decent value and here is why…

Preston are as short as 5/6 to win this game which I believe is just a little too short. They could have as many as four international players missing for this encounter and failed to win their last match when drawing at Barnsley.

Fleetwood still have their eye on a potential play-off spot and proved in the reverse fixture they can be a match for Preston when taking a two goal lead but going on to lose 3-2. The Cod Army have only lost five of their 19 home games at Highbury this season, so don’t expect an easy ride for Simon Grayson’s side.

Whilst Fleetwood have not beat any of the top four this season they have drawn with MK Dons and Bristol City at home. In fact they have drawn eight times this season at Highbury – meaning they have drawn more than they have won or lost.

Preston are right to be favourites in the form they are in but last week proved they are not infallible. They say form goes out of the window in derby games but I believe this one will be a draw.

Preston have only failed to score in two matches this season and Joe Garner their goal getting striker is the joint top scorer in League One this season. It would be churlish to not back him to score here at 29/20.

Verdict:

Draw @ 14/5 – BET NOW

Joe Garner @ 29/20 – BET NOW

League One Betting: Preston are in second place with a game in hand on Bristol City but are still 7/1 to lift the League One trophy. Fleetwood can still reach the play-offs and are a best price 125/1 for promotion with SkyBet.
