Preston miss chance to close on play‑off places

Preston North End missed a chance to climb back into the play-off places before Saturday's fixtures after the defeat, and the loss leaves them losing ground in their pursuit of a top‑six finish following the 1-0 result.

The sides had previously met in November when Blackburn won 2-1 at Deepdale, and Saturday's narrow victory at Ewood Park adds another close result to their recent meetings.

With the win sealed by Ohashi's late header in the 95th minute, Blackburn took the three points that lengthened the gap from their relegation rivals; Preston left Lancashire without points and without the climb toward the play‑off positions they had hoped for.

Tomorrow the Championship continues with plenty of fixtures, and another 10 games are scheduled for the following day, before the Steel City derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday.

Next on the calendar for both clubs will come as part of the ongoing league schedule, with tomorrow's round of Championship fixtures marking the immediate next tests for Blackburn and Preston after the derby result.
