- Venue: Deepdale (Preston)
Preston had a superb start to the season. Although nobody expected them to be among the best Championship teams, they were even at the leading position for a few league rounds. Still, Preston are without a win in the last five games, so they have fallen to the fourth position. Certainly, Preston are very satisfied with that position, but they have to get out of the slump as soon as possible. In the previous match, Ryan Lowe's team played 1-1 at home against Millwall. That game was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points. Still, what can be crucial is that Preston, after another match without a win, could have problems with confidence ahead of the game versus Southampton.
The Championship has three clear favorites to win promotion to the Premier League. That is Leicester, Leeds, and, of course, Southampton. Russell Martin's team didn't have the best opening of the season, but the previous good form helped Southampton to climb to the fifth position on the table. The season is long and Southampton desires to finish among the best two teams and win direct promotion. They are without a loss in the last four matches. In the previous game, the club from Hampshire won 2-1 on the road against Hull. It was the most realistic for the teams to split the points, but Southampton's Ryan Fraser found the net in the second half's stoppage time and secured a big win. Russell Martin's team has some problems, but the recent good form should give them confidence for the game versus Preston on Wednesday night.
Preston vs Southampton pick: Both teams to score - yes
Preston are scoring almost regularly at Deepdale this season. They scored at least one goal in six of seven matches at the home stadium. On the other hand, Southampton scored at least one goal in every one of the previous five games. Both teams are scoring almost regularly, so both teams to score - yes should be the right bet for this tie.

Preston team news
For Preston, the most positive from the game against Millwall is that Ched Evans returned after a neck surgery. The striker came as a substitute in the second half. Evans last season scored nine Championship goals and his presence will mean a lot for the team.
Andrew Hughes, Calvin Ramsey, and Emil Riis remain injured and will not play on Wednesday against Southampton.
