Match preview
Two sides separated by just one place in the Championship standings are set to lock horns at Deepdale on Tuesday, February 28th.
The clash in question will see Preston North End act as hosts, in a meeting with Coventry City.
Beginning with the former, Preston, for their part, enjoyed a timely return to form this past weekend.
Heading into the latest round of fixtures in England’s 2nd tier, the Lilywhites had failed to emerge triumphant from any of their last five fixtures across all competitions, a stretch which included a trio of defeats.
Safe to say, then, that the club’s return to winning ways could not have come at a better time.
A meeting with Championship basement dwellers Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon saw strikes on the part of Daniel Johnson and Thomas Cannon prove enough to guide Preston to the right side of a 2-1 result.
Making it a pair of victories on the spin on Tuesday, though, will prove no easy task.
This comes with the upcoming visitors to Deepdale having enjoyed an altogether more fruitful stretch of results over the course of the last couple of weeks.
After seeing their form fall off the side of a cliff on the back of English football’s post-international break return, Coventry, at long last, have begun to get things back on track of late.
The Sky Blues, since late January, have fallen to defeat just once in six, notching a quartet of wins along the way.
Three such victories, meanwhile, have come in succession over the last fortnight, most recently at the expense of promotion-chasing Sunderland at the weekend.
After Jamie Allen put Mark Robins’ men in front midway through the first-half at the Ricoh Arena, top scorer Viktor Gyokeres’ third goal in three games ensured that Amad Diallo’s injury-time finish proved to be little more than a Sunderland consolation.
Ten points from an available twelve, in turn, have seen Coventry climb back into the top half of the table.
We at 101 are therefore backing the Sky Blues, just, to battle past Preston, come the full-time whistle in what will no doubt prove a hard-fought affair at Deepdale on Tuesday night.
