With a 45% probability of winning, Coventry City goes into the fixture as the favorite according to our algorithm, setting the stage for an intriguing battle at The Coventry Building Society Arena.

Joel Latibeaudiere's first-half red card had no impact on the final result on Saturday afternoon as Coventry condemned Bristol City to a 2-0 defeat at Ashton Gate. The Sky Blues are holding steady at the top of the standings and have set their sights on a sixth successive league win on Wednesday night.

Preston, meanwhile, are a side in free-fall. The Lilywhites kicked off gameweek 36 with a Friday night game against Oxford United, in which they suffered a disastrous 3-1 home defeat. Paul Heckingbottom's men have picked up just two points from the last 15 available.
