Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bristol City
Match Time & Date:
10/11/2018
15:00 GMT
Prediction: 2-2
Preston North End
Bristol City will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to the likes of Stoke City and Reading when they host Preston at their Ashton Gate Stadium. The Robins sit in the middle of the Championship standings ahead of the visit of Preston, but they are only four points behind the play-offs berth. Bristol City have been totally unpredictable in the 2018/2019 season, but Saturday’s football match against the Lilywhites could be the turning point for them. Alex Neil’s men made a very slow start to the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late. Preston are undefeated in previous six league fixtures and that is the main reason why we predict the visitors are going to hold Bristol City to a draw at Ashton Gate Stadium on day 17 of the new Championship campaign.

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.
