Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sheffield Wednesday
Match Time & Date:
22/12/2018
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Preston North End
Hillsborough Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Sheffield Wednesday and Preston. Sheffield Wednesday aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Swansea City and to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Championship. The Owls do not want to give up on their promotion dream and we predict that they are going to stick to their attacking style of play in upcoming festive fixtures. Preston, on the other hand, defeated the likes of Nottingham Forest and Millwall in previous two league games, with the team climbing to 15th place in the standings. The Lilywhites have been showing signs of improvement of late, but beating Sheffield Wednesday on the road is easier said than done, therefore, we are tempted to put our money on draw. You should bear in mind, though, that Sheffield Wednesday outplayed Preston 4-1 in their last meeting at Hillsborough Stadium.

Highlighted Player (Sam Hutchinson):
Sam Hutchinson is a defender who is capable of playing as both right and centre back. The English footballer, who was born on 3 August, 1989 is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well, but he doesn’t score too many goals. Hutchinson was born in Windsor, Berkshire and he began his youth career at Chelsea.
The defender made just five appearances for Chelsea and it has to be noted that he played on loan at Nottingham Forest, Vitesse and Sheffield Wednesday. On 23 May 2014 Chelsea released him, meaning that he was available for free transfer. Hutchinson signed a permanent deal with the Owls on 8 July, 2014.
The 182-cm-tall defender played 25 games for Sheffield Wednesday in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign, but he did not find the net for the Hillsborough outfit. Sam Hutchinson is married to Jennifer, who gave birth to their daughter. His father Eddie Hutchinson had a career in non-League football.
Highlighted Team (Preston North End):
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.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are considered Preston’s big rivals as well. The colour of Preston’s shirts is white and they wear dark blue shorts.
