Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s football game at Deepdale pits together Preston and Nottingham Forest, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship standings. Preston aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Reading, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Reds. All Greg Cunningham, Josh Murphy, and Tom Barkhuizen are sidelined with injuries, while opposition defenders should have Aston Villa loanee Cameron Archer at bay has he has already netted four goals for the Lilywhites.
Forest, on the other hand, head into the midweek clash following a 2-2 draw with Stoke City. The Reds aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Brice Samba is banned for the visitors, while Both Lewis Grabban and Loic Mbe Soh remain in the recovery room.
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.
