Match preview
Two sides in the midst of altogether contrasting spells of form are set to lock horns in a Championship clash at Deepdale on Saturday, December 17th.
The matchup in question will see high-flying Preston North End play host to faltering Queens Park Rangers.
First, let’s take a look at the recent efforts of the former.
Preston, for their part, have steadily worked their way up the table in England’s 2nd tier either side of the World Cup break.
Making the trip to a Blackburn Rovers outfit sitting pretty in 3rd in the table, Ryan Lowe’s troops ultimately emerged on the right side of a 4-1 scoreline, owing to goals on the part of all of Ben Woodburn, Ched Evans (2) and Ben Whiteman.
Evans’ brace proved particularly noteworthy, in taking the hitman’s tally to five goals in his last three appearances.
Preston, as a result, have surged into the Championship’s promotion spots, in the knowledge that a fifth win in six this weekend could guide them as high as 3rd.
And who would bet against the Lilywhites managing exactly that, up against a Queens Park Rangers side in nothing short of freefall?
The Hoops, earlier in the term, had too established themselves in the thick of the promotion battle, even looking candidates for a place in the top two.
The weeks leading into the international break, however, saw their form fall off the side of a cliff.
A solitary point secured from an available 15 culminated in the capital outfit slipping not only off the pace of the automatic promotion berths, but out of the playoff battle altogether.
And such woes only continued to worsen in QPR’s return to action last weekend.
In Paul Hall’s first outing on the bench following Michael Beale’s return to Rangers, the R’s were condemned to an alarming 3-0 home defeat to Burnley.
Saturday’s visitors, as a result, slipped to 9th in the standings in England’s 2nd tier.
And we at 101 only envision QPR’s difficulties mounting furthermore this weekend, backing hosts Preston to ultimately emerge triumphant come the full-time whistle at Deepdale.
