Preston Lions vs Queensland Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 13 November 2026
π On 13 November, Preston Lions will face Queensland Lions in the fifth round of the Championship. This is a meeting between the top two teams in Group D: the visitors lead with nine points, while the hosts sit just behind them on seven. Queensland have won three of their four matches in the tournament, while Preston have managed two consecutive wins after a poor start. Both teams retain a good chance of progressing from the group, making this head-to-head meeting particularly important. Given the sidesβ attacking potential, a more open game can be expected.
Queensland won the first match
π The teams already met on 22 October, when Queensland Lions won 2-1. Preston lost away from home but now have the chance to take revenge on their own ground. Just two points separate the sides in the table, so a win for the hosts would see them move above their rivals. For the visitors, a positive result would be an opportunity to strengthen their lead.

Queensland Lions: group leaders with a prolific attack
Queensland are having a more successful tournament and deservedly sit top of the table. They have won three of their four matches and lost one, scoring ten goals and conceding six. In the previous round, the visitors beat South Hobart 4-2, having defeated Wollongong Wolves 3-1 before that. Another advantage for Queensland is their consistency in attack: the last time they failed to score was on 23 August 2025. However, the visitorsβ defence is not flawless either - Queensland have conceded in each of their last five matches.

π¨ Yellow Cards Prediction

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the visitors' last five matches. The teams also scored three goals in their first head-to-head meeting. Given Queensland's attacking form and Preston's improving results, another high-scoring game can be expected. Prediction: Total Goals - Over 2.5. Odds - 1.65*.

Given the attacking nature of both teams, Total Corners - Over 8.5 is worth considering.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
β Editorβs Prediction
Queensland Lions look more convincing based on their group-stage results, but Preston Lions have found form and will be playing at home. The visitors have a more prolific attack, although their defence regularly makes mistakes. The previous head-to-head meeting also ended with three goals scored. Therefore, rather than picking a winner, it is preferable to consider Total Goals - Over 2.5. Correct score prediction: 1-2 in favour of Queensland Lions.
