Burton is hit hard by injuries, especially offensive. Lastly, a good effort has been made against strong Derby, but Preston has clear players and is one of the best teams in the series based on goal chances.
It speaks for the game:
Burton has a very badly injured squad, and especially offensive, there are more load-bearing forces.
Preston at the start of the season has been very bothered by injuries, but most are now back at full strength.
Preston is among the best teams in the ift team. Away scoring goals scored. The same goes for allowed chances for the opponents.
Preston is located just outside the playoff locations, despite their injurious start. Now you should be even better.
Burton has not managed to use the home side advantage yet this season and has 7 defeats in 10 home matches.
Burton will probably be deep and compact, and most of the game should take place in their halfway.
Last season, Burton had major problems in November and December, where the squad is more pressured than the rest of the season.
You should be aware of this:
Preston is often the best when the opponents move on to the pitch and there is a little more room to play.
Ipswich had the most recent success as home team to leave the Preston initiative, resulting in a 3-0 win.
Burton has enjoyed a week’s break since last match, as the narrow squad can regain strength before the show.
Last season, both races were very close, and there is little to be done before the battle scene changes.
Burton lost just 1-0 at last against one of the strong teams in the league (Derby) and it may have given confidence.
Preston had a hard time opening QPR, winning only a late goal despite being outnumbered since 22 minutes.
