Preston North End vs Burnley Tips and Prediction

While this is the case, Preston’s season has had one of the most peculiar starts in recent memory, with just two goals scored and one allowed through their first eight games.

After their season-opening 1-0 victory over Coventry City, the Lilywhites became just the third English team in history to keep seven straight clean sheets. However, their rearguard was finally breached in their most recent 1-0 loss to Birmingham City at home.

Ryan Lowe, who left Plymouth Argyle to take over as Frankie McAvoy’s replacement last December, has undoubtedly made Preston a very difficult team to break down, but he will also be hoping to get more out of his offensive resources given that his team has only managed to score twice, even though those two goals have resulted in two 1-0 victories.

They still have a tiny budget compared to the majority of the teams in the division, especially when compared to a team like their upcoming rivals Burnley, who are receiving parachute payments after being demoted from the Premier League.

So when Kompany’s team arrives in town on Tuesday, Lowe will almost likely not mind keeping things close for another game. While this is the case, Preston’s season has had one of the most peculiar starts in recent memory, with just two goals scored and one allowed through their first eight games.

So when Kompany’s team arrives in town on Tuesday, Lowe will almost likely not mind keeping things close for another game. Burnley has scored 14 goals in eight games, and only Sheffield United and Bristol City have scored more, with the Clarets currently offering a threat to most of their opponents.

Kompany was able to keep attacking mainstays Ashley Barnes and Jay Rodriguez despite selling players like Dwight McNeil, Maxwel Cornet, and Wout Weghorst during the summer transfer window.

The loan signing of Nathan Tella also appears to have been a wise move given the young forward’s immediate impact during his first few weeks at the club. As was made clear when Tella was hauled down by West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper David Button in their most recent game while clean through on goal, allowing Rodriguez to score from the spot, Tella’s pace and movement have given them a distinct dimension moving forward.

Kompany, a world-class defender at the height of his powers during his playing career, would undoubtedly be disturbed by his team’s inability to maintain leads in games after they allowed late equalizers to West Brom and Blackpool in their last four games.

The 36-year-old is aware that his squad cannot afford to give Preston goals as readily because if they do, they may have a difficult time regaining control of the game against a club with as much offensive depth as their upcoming opponents.

Conclusion

We should expect Preston to play in another low-scoring game, with the visitors likely winning this Lancashire derby.

In his brief time at Burnley, Kompany has had a tremendous impact and will look to keep Burnley’s scoreless on Tuesday.
