Prediction: 2-2
Preston
Bet365 Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Stoke City and Preston. The Potters aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Millwall and Birmingham City, with the team eyeing their tenth home win of the season. Stoke City’s injury list, though, is pretty long as all Allen, Campbell, Clarke, Collins, Doughty, Fox, McClean, and Oakley-Boothe are out of contention.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Brentford. Stoke and Preston have little to play for in the season finale, and seeing that they will be with guards down in Saturday’s showdown, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Bauer, Cunningham, Rafferty, and Rudd are all out of contention through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Danny Batth):
At the age of 10 Danny Batth joined Wolverhampton football academy. He was soon named the captain of the Wolves youth team and nobody was surprised when he made his debut for the senior team. The defender, who was born on 21 September, 1990 scored nine goals in 140 league appearances for Wolverhampton, but it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Colchester United, Sheffield United and their bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday on loan as well.
Danny Batth won the Football League One with Wolverhampton in the 2013/2014 season and, speaking of his individual awards, he was named Wolves Young Professional of the Year in the 2009/2010 campaign. Batth book his place in the 2013/2014 PFA League One Team of the Year as well. The 191-cm-tall centre back scored his first professional goal on 20 February in Colchester United’s 1-0 victory over Oldham Athletic.
Daniel Batth was born in Brierley Hill, West Midlands and he is the only footballer to play in all 46 matches for Wolves in the 2013/2014 season.
Highlighted Team (Preston):
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.
