Preston equipped to claim three valuable points against Norwich

Preston v Norwich
Preston's top goalscorer Sean Maguire is fit enough for a place on the bench after he missed their victory over QPR last week and should help spur North End to a valuable victory in their Sky Bet Championship playoff chase.

Millwall's 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Friday means Preston could draw level on points with the Lions and experienced midfielder Paul Gallagher is handed a start after coming on as a substitute against Rangers.

The Canaries have not won any of their last six away league games and it would be a surprise if they made much of an impression this season.

They have scored in their last eight away games, though, so back the home team to win with both teams finding the net.

Recommendation
Preston & both teams to score
1pt 13-5 general

Swindon v Grimsby
Swindon have just three matches to close the four-point gap that separates them from the Sky Bet League Two playoff places and they are not guaranteed to come out on top against struggling Grimsby.

The Mariners may fancy their chance as defender Olly Lancashire is missing for the Robins, who despite being ninth have conceded more home goals than any other team in the fourth tier.

Swindon are also without top goalscorer Luke Norris, who has found the net 17 times this season, so even though Grimsby have lost their last seven on the road, they could get something at the County Ground after a win over Chesterfield and a draw against Barnet.

Recommendation
Grimsby or draw double chance
1pt 11-10 Sky Bet
