Preston play host to Blackburn at their Deepdale in what in the opening match of the Championship round 16. The Lilywhites were producing fine performances before the international break, winning three of their last four league matches. Therefore, the hosts are seen as slim favourites to win Friday’s clash. Preston’s injury list, though, is pretty long, including the likes of Keane, McCann, Potts, Vukcevic, Gibson, and Brady.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Derby County on Matchday 15. Given Preston’s signs of improvement in early November, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. The likes of Baradji, Cantwell, Garrett, Kargbo, and Toth are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Championship, Blackburn defeated Preston 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
This Championship match will be played on Friday 21 November 2025 at 20:00.
