Our forecast for this Championship game:

Preston

Preston

Watford

Watford

Following a 3-1 victory against Huddersfield Town, Preston is determined to continue their success in the Championship round 22 against Watford. The team has a chance to secure a spot in the playoffs and we are confident they will have an offensive strategy against Watford. Unfortunately, Milutin Osmajic will not be able to play due to a groin injury, and Emil Riis Jakobsen is also not yet ready for Saturday’s match.

However, the Hornets experienced a defeat of 2-1 against Ipswich Town on Tuesday night, causing them to fall to 12th position in the rankings. Currently, Watford and Preston appear to be evenly matched, leading us to believe that bettors from anywhere in the world can find potential in betting on a draw. Valerien Ismael, head coach of the Hornets, has the advantage of selecting the strongest team to face the Lilywhites.

The game will take place on December 16, 2023 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
1-1

Alan Browne

Alan Browne is a Republic of Ireland international who plays for Preston North End as a central midfielder. Born in Cork on April 15, 1999, Browne began his youth career at Ringmahon Rangers, but he soon moved to his hometown club Cork City.

The midfielder, standing at 179 cm, has solidified his spot as a key player for Preston. It should also be mentioned that he previously represented the Ireland national team. On February 6, 2017, Alan Browne made his debut for the Republic of Ireland in a friendly match against Mexico.
