Featured in Rotherham: Jordan Hugill, forward who wants to stand out in the team
Jordan Hugill (#10) is a 31-year-old player, born in England and who plays as a forward. He is the most consistent player on the team, always maintaining a good level of play and during the tournament he has earned the starting position with Rotherham. In 30 games played he has scored 3 goals and 2 assists, he should lead the offense on Saturday against Preston.
Preston standout: Will Keane, the team's best player
Forward Will Keane (#7) is the best player on the team, in 29 games played he has achieved 12 goals and 3 assists. The 31-year-old player, born in England, is Preston North End's top scorer and assister. The success of his team is largely due to the striker's great performance in this tournament and it is very likely that we will see him scoring on Saturday against Rotherham.
Rotherham: want to escape relegation position
The visiting team, Rotherham, has a poor performance in the 2023-2024 EFL Championship season, it is in the last position in the tournament. Until week 38 of the tournament they have a total of 20 points with 3 games won, 11 draws and 24 lost. They are located in twenty-fourth position in the general table and have the risk of being relegated in this tournament if they do not leave the bottom of the table. Their last game was on March 16, 2024, they drew 0-0 against Huddersfield Town at the AESSEAL New York Stadium and thus achieved their eleventh draw in the tournament. They are not the favorites to win the game, they are playing as a visitor against one of the best teams in the league, however, they could surprise and win.
Preston: wants to promote to the Premier League
Preston is progressing very well in the 2023-2024 EFL Championship season, it is at the top of the tournament. After 16 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses they have a total of 56 points, this places them in ninth position in the general table and is only surpassed by some teams. They are still in the race to be promoted to the Premier League in the next tournament, they are 26 points away from first place and therefore they want to ensure victory at home to get closer to their goal. Their last match was on March 16, 2024, they won 1-0 against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park and thus achieved their sixteenth victory in the tournament. They are the favorites to win, they have an advantage in playing at home and their fans can support them.
