Prediction: 1-0
Preston
Stoke City and Preston square off against each other at Bet365 Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship encounter. The Potters aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Burnley, and you should know that they are after their fourth home win of the season. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but talented forward Liam Delap should be recalled to the starting XI.
Meanwhile, the visitors are on a three-game losing run in the English second tier. The Lilywhites have been struggling to find their best form of late, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Stoke City’s party at Bet365 Stadium. Both Andrew Hughes, Sean Maguire, Robert Brady and Troy Parrott miss out with injuries for the visiting side, while Northern Ireland midfielder Ali McCann is pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Aden Flint):
Born in Pinxton, England on July 11, 1989, Aden Fint began his youth career at his hometown club Pinxton. In 2008 he moved to Alfreton Town and he scored 45 goals in more than 100 appearances for the club.
In 2011 he signed a contract with Swindon Town and, no doubt, that was a step up in his career. The 197-cm-tall defender played 64 games in the league for the Robins and in 2013 he signed for Bristol City for a fee of £300,000. Aden Flint made his debut on August 3, 2013 in a 2-2 draw with Bradford City.
The centre-back scored his first goal for Bristol city on September 21 in a 3-2 loss to his former club Swindon Town. You should know that Flint was named Player of the Year for the 2015/2016 season. The Bristol City footballer has a contract with the club which expires on June 30.
Highlighted Team (Preston):
Preston North End or Preston were founded in 1880. The Lilywhites or the Invincibles play their home games at Deepdale, the stadium that was built in 1875 and opened three years later.
In 1889 Preston won their first FA Cup trophy and they did well to beat Huddersfield Town in the final of the 1938 FA Cup final. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1889 and 1890 when they won back-to-back domestic trophies (First Division).
Preston have yet to win the League Cup title, but they were runners-up in 1888, 1922, 1937, 1954, 1964. Preston’s main rivals are Blackpool and the two teams square off against each other in the West Lancashire derby. In their first ever meeting in the West Lancashire derby (1901) Preston recorded a 4-1 win over Blackpool.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are considered Preston’s big rivals as well. The colour of Preston’s shirts is white and they wear dark blue shorts.
