In the match of the fourth round of the FA Cup, Preston North End and London Tottenham will meet. How will the upcoming duel end? We'll figure it out.
Preston North End
Preston North End is playing in the Championship and is currently in the middle of the standings, being on the 11th line. For 28 games, the team has won 11 victories, drawn seven times and suffered ten defeats, while it has a negative balance on goals scored / conceded (26:31). It is worth noting that the density in the table is so great that the gap from the sixth position, which gives the right to play in the play-off games for the opportunity to play in the English Premier League next season, is only two points.
Tottenham
Tottenham is on the fifth line in the standings, which gives the right to play in the Europa League next season, ahead of the nearest pursuer by five points, but at the same time having two more games. For 21 games, the capital club has won 11 victories, drawn three times and suffered seven defeats, while it has 40 goals scored, only Arsenal and Manchester City have more goals. Tottenham started the fight in the tournament from the third round, where they were stronger than Portsmouth (1-0).

I think that the guests can oppose something to their opponent and should not leave the field without scoring a goal. I propose to bet that Preston North End will score. And besides, there is a possibility that the composition of the "spurs" will not be the most basic, because in the next round they will have a match against Manchester City.
