Preston
The Lilywhites currently reside in the middle of the Championship table, with 63 points after 44 games, occupying the tenth position. Preston has already lost any chances of reaching the playoffs, as they are nine points adrift of the sixth position. They have no chance of catching up at this point, with only two matches remaining in the championship, including this one. Naturally, Preston has lost motivation, evident in their recent matches: three defeats, one draw, and one victory. One might say that Preston has already mentally checked out for the season.
Leicester
The Foxes have officially secured their place in the Premier League for the next season. They are currently at the top of the table, boasting 94 points after 44 matches. Their place in the top flight of English football was guaranteed by QPR, who defeated Leeds United 4-0 at home on Friday. This result settled all questions for Leicester in this season. Moreover, Leicester holds a four-point lead over the second and third positions, so a victory in this match would secure them the Championship title. In their last five games, Leicester has won three times and lost twice.

Preston vs Leicester prediction
Leicester has already achieved their main objective for this season - promotion. Preston sits comfortably in the middle of the table and has also settled all matters for the current season. However, in my opinion, a crucial factor is that Leicester could clinch the Championship title, providing them with clear motivation. My bet is on a victory for Leicester City with odds of 1.65.
