Derby vs Preston Prediction & Betting Tips (2 April)

22nd and therefore virtually relegation, no questions to ask this evening for Derby who must win in front of his audience to get out of this torpor. In addition, Derby gives himself the means to do better by being on a very beautiful series of 3 successive victories in the league against stables like Blackburn 2-1, Coventry 2-0 and in mid-March during the previous day on the lawn of Plymouth 2-3.14th of the Championship, Preston finds himself the buttocks between two chairs having a deficit of 10 points to fill for the top 6 and Playoffs and holds 9 lengths ahead of the red zone, more precisely on his evening opponent. Imperative victory therefore for Preston who lost last weekend at home against Aston Villa in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup 0-3.

The march was simply too high against villains, quarter -finalist in the Champions League. Note that out of the last 10 championship games, Preston only won three times, in the previous day also against the promoted Portsmouth 2-1, on the lawn of Norwich 0-1 and against Middlesbrough 2-1. However, this is only one victory over the last 7 days. 

A lot of players will be a priori absent for this meeting, in this case the Jamaicans Dejaune Brown and Roofe (Genoa similar to the thigh), the English Corey Blackett-Taylor (1 goal in only 12 league in the championship this season), Curtis Nelson (2 goals, 1 decisive pass), the interesting Ben Osborn, Ozoh and the middle Joe Ward without forgetting The injury of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (2 goals, 4 assists in the league) as well as the little prolific striker Lars-Jorgen Salvesen (1 goal in 8 appearances). The important environment Sam Greenwood (5 goals, 2 championship assists) will be suspended for this part due to an exclusion to serve. The important Ali McCann and Brad Potts circles (4 goals, 2 assists) and defender Jack Whatmough will probably be unavailable due to physical seeds.

Long injured, Osmajic returned to competition against Aston Villa in the weekend. A match in which Ledson (1 goal, 1 assist), Kesler-Hayden (lent by Aston Villa) and the Scottish defender Ryan Porteous have not participated but should all be today.
