Betting prediction: Preston 0-2 Norwich
Norwich are well on course to win the league, with an eight-point lead over 2nd. The Canaries have a superb away record this season and can expect to pick up another three points on Friday.
Preston have only picked up one point in their last five matches and will be keen to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat. Although they are not at immediate risk of being sucked into a late relegation scrap, that could change if teams around them start picking up wins.
Preston vs Norwich: Recommended bets
Norwich to keep a clean sheet. Norwich have kept shutouts in three of their last five away games. The Championship leaders have only conceded 17 goals in 19 away matches this season. Preston have failed to score in any of their last three matches.
Teemu Pukki to score. Pukki scored three goals over the international break and will be eager to pick up where he left off before the international break. The Finnish striker has 11 goals in his last 10 games for the Canaries. He also scored against Preston in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
