Prediction: 2-0
Preston
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Rotherham United, Bournemouth will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Championship when they host Preston at their Vitality Stadium. The Cherries have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Preston. The good news for the hosts is that important attacker Joshua King could return to the starting XI following his period of isolation due to positive test for coronavirus.
Jack Stackey, though, remains in the recovery room for the hosts. The Lilywhites obviously struggle at the back, with the team conceding seven goals in total in back-to-back defeats to Blackburn (0-3) and Watford (1-4). Preston are not enjoying a season to remember, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Bournemouth’s party at Vitality Stadium. Joe Rafferty is banned, while Billy Bodin, Andrew Hughes, Josh Harrop, and Louis Moult are sidelined with injury.

Highlighted Player (Jordon Ibe):
Jordon Ibe is regarded as one of the most talented players in England. Ibe was born on 8 December, 1995 and he began his senior career at Wycombe Wanderers. After being on Liverpool’s radar during the 2011/2012 season, the Premier League club made their move and eventually secured his signature on 20 December 2011 for an undisclosed fee.
Jordan Ibe plays as a winger and he is well known for impressive pace, power and control. He made 27 appearances for Liverpool in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and he scored one goal in the process. On 14 July, 2016 he signed a four-year contract with Bournemouth for a fee of £15m (club record).
Ibe received his first call-up for England U21 in August 2015, but is has to be noted that he is also eligible to play for Nigeria through his father. However, Ibe confirmed in 2015 that he would represent the England national team on international stage.
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.
