Preview: Preston North End vs. Rotherham United - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's Championship clash between Preston North End and Rotherham United, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Preston North End entertain the challenge of Rotherham United at the Deepdale on Tuesday in matchday four of the 2022-23 Championship season.

Match preview

Preston North End got their league campaign up and running with a narrow 1-0 victory over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon.

Ryan Lowe's men opened the scoring early on through Brad Potts before putting on a solid defensive display to come away with all three points.

The Lilywhites are currently seventh in the league standings, level on points with Sunderland in the race for the last promotion playoff spot.

Coming up next is the task of facing off against an opposing outfit who have won each of the most recent three and are unbeaten in the last five meetings between the teams.

Ahead of a mouth-watering clash against Watford this weekend, Tuesday's hosts will be seeking to set the time with a dominant display here.

Rotherham United claimed a resounding 4-0 victory over Reading when the sides went toe to toe at the Aesseal New York Stadium on Saturday.

First-half goals from Richard Wood, Conor Washington, Jamie Lindsay and Chiedozie Ogbene secure a well-deserved three points for Paul Warne's men.

Consequently, the Millers sit eight in the Championship table, just one point behind their next opponents albeit having played a game fewer.

Unbeaten in each of their last 10 outings on the road across all competitions, Tuesday's visitors now go in search of another feather in the cap away from home.

Team News

Preston North End's Bambo Diaby is set to miss a fifth consecutive game on the bounce due to a muscle injury which he picked up in pre-season.

The home side will also have to make do with the absence of Sean Maguire, whose last appearance came back in late April after which he suffered a knee injury.

Midfielder Brad Potts has found the back of the net in each of his last two outings and will be looking to deliver the goods once again.

Benjamin Wiles was on target in the most recent encounter involving Tuesday's opponents, making the 23-year-old one to look out for here.

Joshua Kayode and Tom Eaves both remain sidelined for the visitors as they continue to nurse muscle and ankle problems respectively.

Preston North End possible starting lineup:
Woodman; Hughes, Lindsay, Storey; Potts, Whiteman, Browne, Brady, Ledson; Parrott, McCann

Rotherham United possible starting lineup:
Johansson; Hall, Wood, Humphreys, Lindsay, Ferguson; Harding, Wiles, Barlaser; Ogbene, Washington


SM words green background

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Rotherham United

Preston have been superb at the defensive end of the pitch recently and are the only side in the Championship yet to concede. While we finally expect the home side to be breached by their free-scoring visitors, we are backing a share of the spoils in the end.
