Tammy Abraham 5/4 to score anytime against Preston in Saturday’s Championship matchup

Competition: Championship

Market: Tammy Abraham to score anytime

Odds: 5/4 @ Bet 365

With an opportunity to end 2018 in the playoff positions, Aston Villa will travel to Deepdale on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, coming off the back of a lackluster showing in their 2-1 loss at home to Hull on Boxing Day, Preston appear to have slumped back to their old ways after an impressive run of form last month. Now losing their last two matches on the bounce, their recent defensive issues will be a growing concern for Alex Neil. Now failing to record a clean sheet in their last seven outings, the Whites have also not kept a clean sheet at Deepdale since their opening game of the season. Potentially slipping back into a relegation battle, we’re backing another touch afternoon for the hosts.

Starting with the hosts, coming off the back of a 1-0 win over Swansea on Boxing Day, Aston Villa have now lost just one of their last nine league outings and are enjoying quite the revival under former Brentford boss Dean Smith. Also now unbeaten in their last four matches away from Villa Park, one man who is spearheading Villa’s push for a top-six finish is Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham. The 21-year-old has also now recorded nine goals in his last nine appearances and sits joint second in the Championship’s goalscoring charts.
