TOWN struck four times without reply at Exeter to secure a third straight win and move up into second in League I.

And bookies are fairly confident they can emerge triumphant once again when they welcome Preston to the Galpharm.

Totesport chalk 10/11 against Lee Clark’s men landing another three points while North End are 16/5 with Ladbrokes to finally end Town’s unbeaten run.

Victor Chandler offer 14/5 for the draw.

That was the outcome the last time the pair met here, 11 years ago, and Skybet price a repeat of the goalless scoreline at 14/1.

However on current form, Town have to be fancied and they’re 11/4 (Boylesports) to sneak it by one goal.

Taking that further, Betfred offer 7/1 for Town to shade it 2-1 for the second consecutive home match.

And Clark’s team are 2/1 via Stan James to be in front at the end of each half for the fourth game in a row.

Both teams have been involved in plenty of relatively high-scoring affairs of late and a case can therefore be made for this match to produce at least three goals, an outcome available at 1.67 (4/6) courtesy of Betdaq.

It’s a slightly higher 8/11, this time at Partybets, for both teams to find the net and in-form Jordan Rhodes, pictured, can help fulfil Town’s side of the bargain – he’s 4/1 with Paddy Power to break the deadlock and 5/1 (bet365) to find the net at least twice.

Victor Chandler mark odds of 17/20 against the opener arriving before the 27th minute and it’s 4/7 with Sportingbet for that first goal to be scored by any Town player.
