FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Preston N.E. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the North End will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Preston N.E. Drawn last 3 games at home.
Failed to win in previous 10 home matches.
Drawn each of their last 5 games.
Not won in the 9 most recent games.
Hull City Not won in previous 3 away matches.
