Pre sentence report done. 2weeks til sentence

Probation are pruposing a community order with rehabilitation work. But also said its 50/50 if he goes to prison because there are distribution of category A. They told him his report will be really positive based on him admitting everything and showing remorse. He also has very strong mitigation apparently. After 15 - 16 months in 2 weeks it will be over in some sense. If the probation have purposed a community sentence how likely would the judge go with that?
A pre sentence report is written by a probation officer to provide the court with a greater understanding of the background and reasons behind the offending behaviour, details of the risks posed by the person being sentenced, recommendations for sentencing and any requirements they believe should be in place for the sentence to served in the community.
Ultimately the decision is down to the judge but in my persons case the judge did follow the recommendations of the PSR.
