Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s football game at Deepdale pits together Preston and Huddersfield, the two sides with totally different ambitions for the season finale. The Lilywhites aim to revive their playoffs hopes and they have no other option but to adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. This clash comes too early for duo Ryan Ledson – Brad Potts, while Ched Evans remains in the recovery room.
The Terriers, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall. Andre Breitenreiter’s troops are desperate to escape the danger zone, but beating Preston on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides are likely to go for a win in the midweek game. The likes of Jack Rudoni, Jonathan Hogg, Radinio Balker, Tom Lees, Yuta Nakayama, and Josh Ruffels remain in the treatment room, speaking of the visiting side.
