Our prediction for this Championship match:
Preston and WBA take on each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game at Deepdale. The Lilywhites have been in a fine form of late, with the team extending their unbeaten run to four games thanks to a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United. Preston aim to keep on climbing the standings, and we are positive that they will go for a win in Saturday’s derby. Tom Barkhuizen has been tested positive for coronavirus, while both Isaiah Brown and Matthew Olosunde are sidelined with injuries.
The Baggies, on the other hand, are on a quest to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League. WBA are only one point behind league leaders Fulham, and seeing that they are likely to go for a victory in the Deepdale clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Dara O’Shea and Matt Clarke are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Scott Sinclair):
At the age of nine, Scott Sinclair joined Bristol Rovers youth school and seven years later he signed a deal with Chelsea. However, the winger played no more than five league games for Chelsea as he spent a big part of his career on loan at Plymouth, QPR, Charlton, Crystal Palace, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, WBA and Aston Villa. He played for Swansea City between 2010 and 2012, scoring 28 goals in 82 league appearances for the Welsh outfit.
On 19 May, 2015 Sinclair signed a permanent deal with Aston Villa, but he failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. He scored only two goals in 21 league appearances for the team and the Villans eventually dropped to the Championship.
The Aston Villa winger, who is capable of playing on both sides of the field, has 7 caps for England U21 and it has to be noted that he made 4 appearances for Great Britain, scoring one goal for Team GB. Scott Sinclair was born in Bath, England on 25 March, 1989.
