The Preston North End kicks off this game with a one-match draw against Millwall, adding to their second straight winless win. Due to this less positive phase, the home team fell to the middle of the leaderboard. On this day coach Alex Neil should keep the team at 4-2-3-1 with Hugill being the most offensive benchmark: this player is Preston’s great highlight with 8 goals and 2 assists. However, we emphasize the importance of Harrop in the tactical scheme of the team, and this player has great vision of the game. It seems that the coach can not count on the injured Maguire.

We emphasize that visitors need to win to get out of the last positions. In this away game coach Steve Cotterill must line up the usual 4-2-3-1 with David Davis being responsible for organizing and creating the offensive process. However, one of Birmingham’s best finishers is left-winger Maghoma with 4 goals scored. The most dominating Isaac Vassell player was without a doubt Sébastien Vassell.
