Preston have won only two of their last 17 Championship fixtures.
North End have picked up just two wins from their last nine league games at Deepdale
Recommended bet: Ipswich to win
Pre-season Championship title favourites Ipswich have begun the new season with a pair of 1-1 draws against Birmingham and Southampton and the Tractors Boys will be desperate to get the show on the road away at Preston.
Keeping hold of Kieran McKenna as manager is a huge boost for Ipswich, and while influential assets Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson have secured Premier League moves on the back of last season’s relegation, plenty of quality remains.
This is still a squad packed with top-flight talent and they should find the challenge of Preston much lighter than Birmingham and Southampton, two sides also expected to figure prominently in the promotion picture.
Preston have four points from two games and their latest 2-1 win at home to fellow relegated side Leicester should ensure that McKenna has his allies fully focused for the task in hand.

Prediction
Ipswich are yet to get off the mark in this season’s Championship, but 1-1 draws with Birmingham and Southampton is a respectable start to proceedings and they can make it third time lucky with victory at Preston.
The Tractor Boys still boast plenty of Premier League quality within their ranks and they should have too much for Paul Heckingbottom’s Preston.
A 2-1 win at home to Leicester last week reads well for Preston but the Foxes have been unable to strengthen their squad and look underprepared, unlike Ipswich, who can show why they started the season as title favourites.
Preston won only one of their final 15 league outings last season and may have been flattered by their strong start.
