Prediction: 1-1
Fulham
Deepdale will host Saturday’s football game between Preston and Fulham. The Lilywhites aim to build on a midweek win over Middlesbrough, and they are eager to give fans yet another reason for celebration. Even though all Joshua Murphy, Connor Wickham, Isaiah Brown, and Matthew Olosunde are sidelined with injuries, we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the match as Fulham failed to impress in a goalless draw with Derby.
The Cottagers were without key attacker Aleksandar Mitrovic in Wednesday’s clash, and the Serbia international is rated doubtful for the Preston game. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as the Lilywhites proved their worth in their last league match. In their last meeting in the English second tier Fulham defeated Preston 2-0, which is yet another reason why a low-scoring affair is on the horizon.
Highlighted Player (Alan Browne):
Alan Browne is a Republic of Ireland international who plays for Preston North End as a central midfielder. Born in Cork on April 15, 1999, Browne began his youth career at Ringmahon Rangers, but he soon moved to his hometown club Cork City.
Despite being part of the Cork City senior team, he did not enjoy first-team football with the Rebel Army. On January 1, 2014 Alan Browne signed a deal with Preston North End in the League One and one year later he helped the Lilywhites beat Preston in the play-off final and secure promotion to the Championship.
The 179-cm-tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Preston and it has to be noted that he played for the Ireland national team in the past as well. Alan Browne made his Republic of Ireland debut on February 6, 2017 in a friendly game against Mexico.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
