Preston vs Burnley Preview and Team News
Preston Team News
It has been a respectful season in the second tier for Paul Heckingbottom’s Preston this term, and they could yet make a charge toward a playoff spot. Preston have eliminated two League One opponents in the FA Cup to this point, which includes a penalty shootout success against Wycombe in the previous round.
The two-time winners of the FA Cup haven’t reached the quarterfinals since losing finalists in 1963-64. Preston have averaged an xG of 1.17 in the Championship this season, and they have struggled to convert chances after scoring an average of just 1.06 per 90.
Heckingbottom will be without key defenders Jack Whatmough and Jordan Storey this weekend, while midfielders Ben Whiteman and Duane Holmes are also out injured.
Preston predicted lineup vs Burnley (3-5-2): Woodman; Porteous, Gibson, Hughes; Kesler-Hayden, Ledson, McCann, Lindsay, Meghoma; Greenwood, Keane.
Burnley Team News
Scott Parker’s Burnley will have the target of automatic promotion as their primary objective this season, and they look on course for a scrap for second between now and the end of the season.
Burnley eliminated Premier League Southampton in the previous round, while they haven’t conceded a league goal in a staggering 12 matches.
That defensive dominance is reflected in their xGA average of 1.03, and they have allowed an average of 0.26 goals per 90. Scoring goals has been their biggest issue throughout the season, having netted an average of just 1.26 from an xG of 1.35 per 90.
Parker will likely revert back to Vaclav Hladký in goal, just as he has in the previous two rounds. Meanwhile, Luca Koleosho and Aaron Ramsey will miss the Yorkshire derby due to injury.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Preston (4-2-3-1): Hladký; Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Pires; Laurent, Cullen; Edwards, Mejbri, Anthony; Flemming.

- Pick: Burnley to win
- Odds: 2.08 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Preston 0-1 Burnley
The visitors appear to be the standout selection when making a Preston vs Burnley prediction.
Burnley have avoided defeat in all but one of their last nine against their opponents, and they have kept clean sheets in each of the last three meetings since the start of 2023.
Burnley’s excellent defensive record, which has seen them keep 12 straight clean sheets, is also key to their chances of reaching the quarterfinals in the FA Cup for the second time in three seasons.
Preston vs Burnley Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams Not to Score
- Odds: 1.63 (22Bet)
Both teams not to score looks like one of the standout selections for this all-Championship affair on Saturday. Preston have struggled in front of goal throughout this season, scoring an average of just 1.12 in their home matches, and failing to score in 24% of their fixtures.
Meanwhile, Burnley have conceded an average of just 0.29 goals per game on the road, and have kept clean sheets in 71% of their fixtures away from Turf Moor.
Hannibal Mejbri could be a standout selection to pick up a card in a fiery Lancashire derby. The 22-year-old has averaged 1.5 fouls per 90 in the Championship this season, and he has already picked up six yellows in the second tier.
