Second ECC bet comes from the Norwich Vs Preston game. The host’s have really been disappointing at points this season. But at home they have been decent for the most part and I’m not convinced that the bookies have really taken that into consideration here.

They have beaten the league leaders at Carrow Road convincingly by scoring 5 goals in the process and also given Birmingham a good game. Their record on paper may not look up to much but the truth is, they have played much better than this would suggest. They have tended to take the game to their opponents at Carrow Road and I don’t expect to see anything different here, this is a big game for them I feel, they lose here and they could be in for a long hard season. Last weekend at Burnley they have put in a really poor performance. But they had created some chances. Lita has looked sharp in front of goal despite missing a few chances last week. He will have a more usual strike partner in Sibierski available for this game and he is also a handful. The midfield and defence perhaps lacks that steel and grit that I go on about so much that’s really important in this league and this is perhaps where they have been going wrong but I do feel they match up quite well against Preston.

Preston really started the season like a house on fire but have really been in a serious downtrend for sometime now. They just can’t seem to turn this poor form around at present. They have had a decent result in the opening round beating Ipswich away but after this they have failed to show anything away from Deepdale. Last time out they have lost at home to Saints after leading 2-0. Saints have come back from the dead in what must be a confidence zapping defeat. They do have some decent players but im of the feeling they are at rock bottom now and although Norwich are not far off it as well, their home form should make the difference here.
