THE PREDICTION

A thrilling match at the Bet365 Stadium saw Coventry secure a third straight Championship victory after beating Stoke 2-3 which has elevated them to 15th-place in the table with survival all but secure. Full of confidence, the Sky Blues make the trip to Deepdale to play a Preston side are coming off the back of a comprehensive 3-0 win over a struggling Derby. Coventry will provide much sterner competition however and it may be difficult to separate these two sides. Mark Robins’ visitors will be happy no doubt to keep their unbeaten run going and will want his side to defend better than they did against Stoke. If they can improve at the back, they should be capable of at least a point here and should be considered double chance.
