Fulham has definitely been the best team in the Championship this season. Coached by an amazing manager Marco Silva, the Cottagers have probably secured promotion to the top division of English football. A win in the upcoming game would make Fulham the new member of the Premier League, and there is no doubt the hosts will give their best to find the important three points against Preston.

Preston North End continues to be a stable mid-table side in the English second division, currently fifteenth-placed after finishing in thirteenth place last season. A decent manager Ryan Lowe did well with this solid squad, and is happy with his team's current place on the ladder. Preston is unbeaten in its last three matches, winning two of those, against Blackpool and Queens Park Rangers. The visitors are coming from a 1-1 draw against Millwall.

Coming to this duel, the hosts are only without Terence Kongolo, while the guests have a bit more trouble ahead of them, missing Emil Riis Jakobsen, Isaiah Brown, Tom Barkhuizen, and Ryan Ledson. Without their top scorer, it will be tough for Preston to score, especially against Fulham's well-organized defense. The Lilywhites' previous three matches were all at home, and they will finally play a game without the home advantage. This side isn't doing well away from home, winless in its last four visits. Their last away match was against Derby, losing 1-0 while being a worse team for the entire game.

Led by a phenomenal striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fulham doesn't have to worry about finding the net. The hosts scored a mind-blowing ninety-five goals so far, with thirty-eight of those scored by Mitrovic. He is playing alongside the Welsh international Harry Wilson, who is also having a fantastic season with his twenty-four goal contributions as a midfielder.

I expect the hosts to win persuasively, considering everything mentioned above. Good luck!

富勒姆绝对是本赛季冠军杯中最好的球队。在一个令人惊叹的教练马尔科·席尔瓦的指导下，科特夫人可能已经确保晋级到英格兰足球的顶级联赛。在即将到来的比赛中取胜将使富勒姆成为英超的新成员，毫无疑问东道主将竭尽全力在对普雷斯顿的比赛中取得重要的三分。

普雷斯顿北端仍然是一支稳定的英格兰乙级中游球队，在上赛季获得第十三位后，目前排名第十五位。一个体面的教练莱恩·劳在这支强大的队伍中做得很好，他对他的球队目前在阶梯上的位置感到高兴。普雷斯顿在过去的三场比赛中保持不败，赢了其中两场，分别对阵布莱克浦和皇后公园巡游者。客队1-1战平米尔沃尔。

在这场决斗中，主人只是没有特伦斯·孔戈洛，而客人们有更多的麻烦，他们失去了埃米尔·里斯·雅各布森，以赛亚·布朗，汤姆·巴克休森和赖安·莱德森。没有了他们的头号射手，普雷斯顿很难进球，特别是面对富勒姆组织严密的防守。百合白队前三场比赛都是在主场进行的，他们终于要在没有主场优势的情况下进行比赛了。这支球队在客场表现不佳，在过去的四场客场比赛中都没有获胜。他们最后一场客场比赛是对德比，0 - 1输掉了比赛，但整场比赛他们的表现都很差。

在非凡的前锋米特罗维奇的带领下，富勒姆不用担心进球。东道主队迄今打进了令人瞠目结舌的95个进球，其中米特罗维奇打进了38个。他和威尔士国脚哈里·威尔逊并肩作战，后者作为中场球员也有24粒进球，这是一个梦幻般的赛季。

考虑到上面提到的一切，我希望东道主能够赢得令人信服的胜利。好运！
