Off the back of contrasting results at the weekend, Preston meets Hull City at Deepdale in this neck-and-neck Championship clash on Tuesday. Both sides occupy the final two playoff places and are separated by just one point in the standings. Who is likely to secure victory? Below is our prediction.

Preston suffered a setback in their push for automatic promotion to the Premier League following a narrow loss to Derby County at the weekend. Patrick Agyemang's 82nd-minute strike condemned the Lilywhites to a shock 1–0 home defeat and left them fifth in the standings with 43 points – six adrift of the top two. 

They have now failed to win six of their last nine Championship matches. Paul Heckingbottom's charges have also managed just one win in their last six home league fixtures (D3, L2).

Hull City came away with a shock 2–1 victory over Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium at the weekend. That result marked their fifth victory in seven Championship matches (D1, L1) and saw them beat Preston to fourth place in the standings with 44 points. 

The Tigers are now unbeaten in their last five away matches, winning four. They have also avoided defeat in six of their last seven Championship encounters against Preston.
