A Fight With The Tigers

Last updated : 19 October 2006 By @pnemad

PNE host Hull at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Preston lie high in second, winning their last two games, whilst Hull lie at the foot of the table in 24th position. Hull haven't won since 15 September, which was against Sheffield Wednesday. This fixture was won 3-0 by PNE last season and this season promises a better result. However the last time the two teams met, the result was a 1-1 draw.

Preston enter the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory against Ipswich and Hull go into the game after drawing 0-0 with Luton. Hull will be looking to kick start their season whilst Preston will look to continue their excellent form and keep pushing on their way to promotion.

So far, Preston have Agyemang possibly out injured and the usual injured players like Mawene. Hull have Stephen McPhee out on long term.

Player to watch: John Parkin, Hull's top scorer this season with 5 goals from 10 starts. The target man, signed in January this year scored 12 goals last year, by playing for both Hull and Macclesfield.

Match prediction: 4-1

Next fixture: Burnley (away) Fri 27/10
