THE PREDICTION
Preston’s diabolical home form continued in midweek as they lost 0-2 to Millwall. That means that the Lilywhites have now lost four in four league games at Deepdale this season without scoring a single goal. Against a Birmingham side who ground out a hard fought 2-1 win over Huddersfield last time out thanks to a late winner from Lukas Jutkiewicz, goals look set to be at a premium in this one. If there is to be a winner, it is likely to be by the odd goal and with Preston’s home record this season, it’s hard to look beyond that winner being Birmingham.
