Preston only wins away when Osmajić scores

His goals have also propelled the club, which is just five points from the play-offs - a zone that ultimately leads to a Premier League promotion race. The Lancashire side have also reached the last 16 of the FA Cup, and the Montenegrin striker has been instrumental in the world's oldest club competition.

Cardiff City in December, Vicarage Road in January, Carrow Road in February - what these three stadiums have in common is that they have been the venues where Preston have achieved their only away wins this season in the Championship.

Much more importantly - each was won by Montenegrin footballer Milutin Osmajić.

The Lancashire club did not shine much outside of their "Deepdale", registering only three away triumphs, but always when the scorer was a "falcon" striker and always in rounds that were not played on weekends.

Preston achieved their first away win against Cardiff, with Osmajić scoring in the 93rd minute for 2:0. Masterfully, after forcing the Welsh team's defender into a mistake, then bypassing the goalkeeper and easily finishing the move.

The guy from Nikšić has scored four times this season against Watford, a team that wants to seek a chance to return to the Premier League through the playoffs, and after scoring two goals at Deepdale in the first part of the season, he defeated the Hornets at their stadium with two more (2:1).

For the first goal, he reacted brilliantly to a teammate's cross, while for the second, he was elusive for the home team's defense.

Preston's third away win came last night against Norwich (1:0), and once again our striker was the match-winner - he scored in the fifth minute after an assist from Mads Frekjer-Jensen.

"Osmajić gave the home team's goalkeeper Agnus Gan no chance from ten meters," wrote the BBC.

It was Osmajić's 12th goal in all competitions this season, and his seventh in the Championship, not forgetting that the Montenegrin missed eight games due to suspension.

He is particularly good in the year that has just begun, scoring five goals and assisting two in eight matches.

"Another goal from him came against Norwich, which was enough for Preston to win again. In the second half, he had a chance to score again. He pressed tirelessly in attack and controlled the ball excellently," wrote the Lancashire Post, giving Osmajić an eight.

His goals have also propelled Preston, who are just five points from the play-offs - a zone that ultimately leads to a Premier League promotion race. The Lancashire club have also reached the last 16 of the FA Cup, and Osmajić has been instrumental in the world's oldest club competition.

His two goals sealed a 2-1 win over Charlton in the third round, and he was also sure of a penalty shootout victory as Preston eliminated Vic. Osmajić and his club will face Burnley in the quarter-finals.
