Preston North End welcome the visitors Leeds United in the English Championship – Round 41. The match will be held on Tuesday, April, 9th, at the Deepdale (Preston).
In fact, Preston North End have theoretical chances to reach playoffs. The problem is that they won’t succeed because of their defense. As for the attack, the ‘Lilywhites’ feature top-five in the division. That said, all their performers present a danger. 15 players scored this season. Before the clashes with Reading and Sheffield United, Preston were undefeated in 12 matches. So, betting against them might be risky.

These days, Leeds United play as if they plan to hand their 2nd place to Sheffield United – they drop points where they are not supposed to do so. Take, for example, their 1:0 loss to Birmingham City – the side don’t have any ambitions now, they were deducted points, and were defeated in 5 rounds. This is all about the Championship – contenders fight till the end here. The ‘Whites’ conceded in 2 of 3 latest encounters – they failed because they could not net. As far as their outings are concerned, the team registered 3 wins and 4 losses in 8 trips. This is a great number of defeats, provided they look for automatic promotion to the elite division. We are not sure if the guests will have enough strengths to manage the remaining fixtures well. Actually, they survived against Millwall, but we don’t feel like betting on their away win anyways. We really doubt Leeds will keep their goal locked on Tuesday.
The guests don’t have many options. There is nothing to lose. But for the 2nd tier, of course. Leeds need to rush forward, which means to bare the defense. Preston will certainly make use of it and make at least 1 goal. They may even attain points. The 3rd loss in a row does not fit into the decent streak that they’ve demonstrated lately.
Prediction for the match: Preston North End to score over 0.5 goals.
