Rotherham United suffered another major blow in their hopes of avoiding the drop in last week's defeat to Birmingham City. The hosts are dealing with a squad fitness and it is hampering their season. Rotherham United entertain Preston North End on Tuesday and I'm confident Preston North End can come out from this game without a loss. You should bet on an away win or draw for the following reasons;

[1] Rotherham United is barely able to field a good starting XI. Matt Taylor has a long list of absentees from his team with six key players missing from this game. It was evident in their defeat to Birmingham City that they lacked good personnel as the backup players don't understand the role or are not performing as well as the injured players. Preston North End is a solid team and overall they have done well this season and have all their key men available for this clash. They should be able to do well against the crop of players available for Rotherham United and I expect an away win or draw.

[2] Preston North End is having a better season than Rotherham United and are also the team in better form arriving this game. They have gone six consecutive games without a defeat and they got all three points last week in a 2-0 win at home to Cardiff City. Preston North End is ten points clear of Rotherham United and their defensive form over the last three games has been very impressive; they have not conceded in the last 270 minutes of football in the championship. Currently, Preston North End has one of the best backline in the English Championship. Rotherham United has only two wins in their last nine games and frankly speaking, I don't see them troubling a good team like the Preston North End.

Preston North End and Rotherham United finished 0-0 in the first meeting this season with Rotherham United's complete XI. Now the hosts are injury hit and it increases Preston North End's already good chances of winning. I'm tipping this game to end in an away win or draw.

罗瑟勒姆联队在上周输给伯明翰城的比赛中希望避免下滑，但又遭受了一次重大打击。主队正在处理球队的体能问题，这阻碍了他们的赛季。罗瑟勒姆联队周二招待普雷斯顿北区，我相信普雷斯顿北区可以在这场比赛中不输。出于以下原因，您应该投注客场获胜或平局；

[1] 罗瑟勒姆联队几乎无法派出出色的首发阵容。马特泰勒有一长串缺席者名单，其中有六名关键球员缺席了这场比赛。在输给伯明翰城的比赛中，很明显他们缺乏优秀的人员，因为替补球员不理解这个角色，或者表现不如受伤球员。普雷斯顿北区是一支稳固的球队，总体而言，他们本赛季表现出色，并且所有关键人物都可以参加这场比赛。他们应该能够很好地对抗罗瑟勒姆联队可用的球员，我希望客场获胜或画。

[2] 普雷斯顿比罗瑟汉姆的表现更好，也是本场比赛状态更好的球队。他们已经连续六场比赛未尝败绩，上周他们在主场 2-0 战胜卡迪夫城的比赛中全取三分。普雷斯顿北区领先罗瑟勒姆联队 10 分，他们在过去三场比赛中的防守状态令人印象深刻；他们在锦标赛最后 270 分钟的比赛中没有失球。目前，普雷斯顿北区拥有英冠最好的后防线之一。罗瑟勒姆联队在过去的九场比赛中只赢了两场，坦率地说，我不认为他们会给普雷斯顿北区这样的好球队带来麻烦。

普雷斯顿和罗瑟汉姆在本赛季第一次交锋中以 0-0 结束。现在主队受伤了，这增加了普雷斯顿北区本已很好的获胜机会。我认为这场比赛以客场获胜或平局告终。
