Prediction: 1-1
Preston
Portsmouth and Preston square off against each other at Fratton Park in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Pompey aim to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Plymouth and a triumph over Preston will see them put an end to their four-game winless run in the English second tier. Northern Ireland midfielder Terry Devlin is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while the likes of Will Norris, Paddy Lane, Colby Bishop, Conor Shaughnessy, and Jacob Farrell remain in the recovery room.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. As Preston are eager to return to winning ways as well, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in a competitive match the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. Milutin Osmajic has yet to serve his ban, while all Will Keane, Robbie Brady, and Patrick Bauer miss out with injuries for the away team.

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.
