Our Take
This matchup presents Preston Lions FC as favourites given their superior home form and balanced recent performances. St Albans Saints, despite a higher average goals per game, have defensive issues on the road reflected in their three recent away defeats. We expect a competitive fixture but with Preston’s defensive solidity at home, they are well placed to edge a win.
