After tough outings in the last round, Preston North End and Coventry City will be facing off in the Championship’s matchday 20. Preston have dropped to fifth in the standings, while leaders Coventry have had their advantage slashed. Here's our prediction for this match.
Preston had to leave it late before snatching a 1-1 draw with promoted side Wrexham. This result wasn’t enough to see them keep third place. With a +6 goal difference though, they can rise two places with a win here.
The Lilywhites lost their three-match winning run against Coventry last time out and will be looking to return to their dominance.
Coventry will also be gunning for a win here after being upset by Ipswich in the last game. The Sky Blues suffered their biggest defeat as the Tractor Boys inflicted on them a 3-0 defeat on the road.
Both of their losses in the league came on the road, and Frank Lampard’s men will have their fears. For a side with 13 wins in their 19 league outings, however, Coventry will hope this game returns their 10-point gap.
Having scored on average 2.6 goals in the Championship, Coventry will be confident about this match. Their opponents have managed just 1.36 goals per game.
