Prediction

  • Preston produced an impressive response after being pegged back by Middlesbrough on Wednesday night, taking the lead again just three minutes later as they sealed a priceless 2-1 home win.
  • The Lilywhites have now won three successive Championship matches, moving within goal difference reach of the play-off places.
  • Blackburn were holding out for a draw against fellow strugglers Birmingham in midweek before a late Andre Dozzell goal condemned Rovers to a 1-0 away defeat.
  • John Eustace is facing a tough ask to turn around the fortunes of a side with one win in their last ten Championship outings.
