Prediction: 1-1
Middlesbrough
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Wycombe, Preston will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Championship when they host Middlesbrough at their Deepdale. The Lilywhites have been showing signs of improvement of late as they outplayed Bournemouth on the road on Matchday 15, but the game against Middlesbrough will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
Midfielder Ben Pearson, who suffered an injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature against the Boro. The visitors, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Stoke City. Middlesbrough are eager to move a little closer to the playoffs berth, but given their anything but good away record in the 2020/21 season, share of spoils is on the cards at the Deepdale. The likes of Browne, Fletcher, and Hall are all likely to miss the Preston game with injury.

Highlighted Player (Alan Browne):
Alan Browne is a Republic of Ireland international who plays for Preston North End as a central midfielder. Born in Cork on April 15, 1999, Browne began his youth career at Ringmahon Rangers, but he soon moved to his hometown club Cork City.
Despite being part of the Cork City senior team, he did not enjoy first-team football with the Rebel Army. On January 1, 2014 Alan Browne signed a deal with Preston North End in the League One and one year later he helped the Lilywhites beat Preston in the play-off final and secure promotion to the Championship.
The 179-cm-tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Preston and it has to be noted that he played for the Ireland national team in the past as well. Alan Browne made his Republic of Ireland debut on February 6, 2017 in a friendly game against Mexico.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
