Preston take on the visitors Leicester in the round 45 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, April 29th at Deepdale (Preston).
Preston started energetically after the club tournaments in the Foggy Albion received their current format. It was they who consistently won the first championship title in 1889, then added a cup, achieving the double for the first time in history, and finally defended their status as champions. But over the subsequent decades, almost a century and a half, they only added the FA Cup in 1938, essentially. Now it's a team that hasn't been in the Premier League for a long time and is holding onto mid-table in the Championship. Last season, North End finished 12th. And in this cycle, there was an improvement, but not enough to seriously contend for the top six and continue the fight for the Premier League. It's not surprising that in April, Ryan Lowe's team lost to Norwich, Southampton, and QPR.

Leicester made their fans worry. The Foxes forever entered the history of English and world football when Ranieri led the underdog to a sensational championship. And just a couple of years ago, under Rodgers, the team won the FA Cup and then the Community Shield after the summer break. The key turning point seems to have been the tragic death in a helicopter crash of the project owner, Vichai. His successors couldn't cope, and the club quickly deflated, eventually relegating last spring. But, of course, before the new manager, Marsch, despite the departure of several stars, the task was set to return to the Premier League straight away and directly from 1st or 2nd place. For a long time, they managed to lead, and the gap only increased. But everything changed for the worse back in February when there were three consecutive defeats. And then they couldn't really pick up steam on a stable basis, on the contrary, in April, they lost to Millwall and Plymouth. But at the right moment, they managed to regroup. And by winning 2-0 against West Bromwich and 5-0 against Southampton, combined with a new slip-up by the pursuers, they secured a return to the Premier League prematurely.
There were only a couple of friendly matches after 2011. Finally playing in the autumn, the Foxes defeated their opponents at home. Both teams are already without tournament motivation. But the Foxes are spirited and no longer feel the pressure of results - let's bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win.
