The Match

Preview

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

We said: Preston North End 1-0 Barnsley

Barnsley are very gradually improving under Asbaghi, but we think that they will come away empty handed against a Preston side likely to benefit from a new manager bounce. The Lilywhites players will be keen to impress Lowe, who is an exciting appointment at Deepdale, and should claim victory. Read more.
