Prediction: 1-1
Middlesbrough
Deepdale will host Saturday’s football game between Preston and Middlesbrough, the two teams that defeated Watford and WBA respectively at the weekend. The Lilywhites are on a three-game unbeaten run in the Championship, but they need to keep improving their game if they are to revive their playoffs hopes. Brad Potts remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The opposition back-line should have Milutin Osmajic at bay as the Montenegro forward scored a brace in a midweek win over Watford.
The Boro, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. Middlesbrough are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Preston on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Bangura, Brynn, Conway, Howson, Lenihan, and Smith are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Robbie Brady):
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.
He played for Manchester United U-18 team, but he did not make his debut for the senior team. The Irish footballer played for Hull City on loan in the 2011/2012 and the 2012/2013 Championship campaigns and in January, 2013 he signed a permanent deal with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Robbie Brady made his Republic of Ireland debut on 8 September, 2012, in a 4-1 win over Oman and it has to be noted that he scored one goal and provided two assists for his teammates in the victory over the Asian team.
He represented the Boys in Green at the 2016 European Championship finals and he scored the winner against Italy that helped the team make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
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.
