The Daily Acca: Spoils to be shared at Deepdale

Arsenal's conquerors to be beaten

Bet 1: Back Mainz 05 & BTTS @ 10/3 - KO 19:30 GMT

Eintracht Frankfurt won at Arsenal in the Europa League on Thursday, but they could struggle at Mainz 05 this evening.

Prior to that Emirates victory, Adi Hütter's side had lost three on the bounce in all competitions, and in the Bundesliga, it's four losses in five away games this term. They did score in three of the defeats though.

The hosts bounced back from a pair of losses by thumping Hoffenheim by a 5-1 scoreline away from home last weekend, and while they lost their most recent home outing, they had won two of their previous four. They are yet to keep a clean sheet, however.

Preston to remain unbeaten at home

Bet 2: Back The Draw in Preston v West Brom @ 5/2 - KO 19:45 GMT

Preston's decent run came to an end at Derby last weekend, and they were also beaten in midweek at Hull. Both of those matches were away from home though, and at Deepdale, they have won seven and drawn the other two of their nine fixtures this season.

They will find it tough against West Brom though, as the Baggies are flying at present. They haven't lost since a 1-0 reverse at Leeds on October 1st, and they come into this game on the back of four straight wins.

Slaven Bilić's men have won their last three away matches - all to nil - but they were at Middlesbrough, Stoke and Hull, so this is a more difficult test. A 0-0 or 1-1 scoreline wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Sampdoria's revival to stall

Bet 3: Back Cagliari @ 1/1 - KO 19:45 GMT

Claudio Ranieri has turned things around at Sampdoria since he was brought in as manager, and they travel to Cagliari this evening on a four match unbeaten run.

Three of those games were at their home in Genoa though, and they have had a kind run of fixtures. It won't be easy to avoid defeat at Cagliari, as the hosts are fifth in Serie A, and would move level on points with Roma with a win.

Rolando Maran's side haven't lost a game since September 1st, and on this ground it's 13 points from a possible 15.
