Betting suggestion:
The bet we recommend for this game is the triumph of Preston North End. The home team has a more developed squad compared to the away team, both tactical and technical. In addition, Preston plays with the help of its supporters, something that can make the difference in this game. On the other side, Birmingham will create some difficulties for the opponent, but without strength to score points. Having said that, risking the home team in this game is the best option.

Preview
Preston North End and Birmingham City face at Deepdale Stadium, in a match for the 28th round of the Championship. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 16‑09‑2017, Preston North End got an away win by (1‑3). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 5 matches they won 2 and tied 3. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.
Analysis Preston
The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 41 points won, after 10 wins, 11 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Middlesbrough, by (2‑3). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Millwall, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded. For the league, Preston North End won 13 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 13 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 9 of their last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
Preston North End kicks off this game with a 1-1 draw against Millwall, adding the second straight game without a win. Due to this less positive phase, the home team fell to the middle of the standings. On this round coach Alex Neil should keep the team in 4-2-3-1 with Hugill being the most offensive reference: this player is Preston's great highlight with 8 goals and 2 assists. However, we emphasize the importance of Harrop in the tactical scheme of the team, and this player has great vision of the game. It seems that the coach can not count on the injured Maguire.

Analysis Birmingham
The away team is currently in the 23th position of the league, with 23 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 16 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Reading, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Derby County, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 8 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Birmingham City has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 11 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (16'‑30').
Birmingham was making a very positive comeback in the last few games, however, they could not hold on to the quality of the second league and lost to Derby, by (0-3). We emphasize that the away team need to win to get out of the last positions. In this away game coach Steve Cotterill should organize the team in the usual 4-2-3-1 with David Davis being responsible for organizing and creating the offensive process. However, one of Birmingham's best finishers is left-winger Maghoma with 4 goals scored. It seems that Isaac Vassell will be the only player missing for this game.
