  • 13' Goal! Jayden Bogle scores his 25 goal in 385 matches.
  • 18' It looks surprising Leeds United FC does not make any changes. Stefan Teitur Thordarson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' Preston North End FC is showing some good football. However, Preston North End FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Preston North End FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 33' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
