Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at Deepdale pits together Preston and Burnley, the two teams that defeated Norwich City and Hull City respectively in midweek. The Lilywhites have been in a fine form of late, winning three of their last four league matches and a triumph over Burnley will see them revive their playoffs hopes. Both Duane Holmes and Ryan Porteous limped off with injuries in the Carrow Road clash, with duo Brad Potts – Liam Lindsay being ready to step up.
The Clarets, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. As Burnley have been impressive at the back in 2025, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Deepdale and we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Speaking of the away team, manager Scott Parker is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Tigers. Earlier this season, the two sides played out a goalless draw at Turf Moor.
Highlighted Player (Robbie Brady):

Robbie Brady is an Irish footballer who plays for Norwich City as a winger, but he is capable of playing at left back as well. Brady began his youth career at St. Kevin’s Boys, where he was spotted by Manchester United scouts. In 2008 he joined the Old Trafford outfit at age 16.
He played for Manchester United U-18 team, but he did not make his debut for the senior team. The Irish footballer played for Hull City on loan in the 2011/2012 and the 2012/2013 Championship campaigns and in January, 2013 he signed a permanent deal with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Robbie Brady made his Republic of Ireland debut on 8 September, 2012, in a 4-1 win over Oman and it has to be noted that he scored one goal and provided two assists for his teammates in the victory over the Asian team.
He represented the Boys in Green at the 2016 European Championship finals and he scored the winner against Italy that helped the team make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):

Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
