Prediction: 1-1
Preston
All eyes will be on DW Stadium when newcomers Wigan Athletic and Preston take on each other in the opening match of the season. The Latics rolled over Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 in their last warm-p game, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Preston. Summer signings Joe Allen, Nathan Wood, and Harry Darling are likely to make their Wigan debuts against the Lilywhites.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to get off to a flying start, but beating Wigan on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon at DW Stadium, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be Denmark international Emil Jakobsen, who scored 16 goals in the Championship last term.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
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.
