Preston North End, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Preston North End players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Hull City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Hull City, who had 11 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 11 games at Deepdale.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Deepdale, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against West Bromwich Albion, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 65 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 7 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
The Coventry City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Matt Godden, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Sky Blues have been unable to break through Preston's defence and find the back of the net. Coventry have struggled to break down The Lilywhites defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
It's been a long time since Preston have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Coventry in 19 league games in a row.
Preston manager Ryan Lowe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Greg Cunningham (Knock), Andrew Hughes (Calf), Will Keane (Knock), Ali McCann (Calf), Calvin Ramsay (Knee), Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) and Jack Whatmough (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Liam Kelly (Hamstring), Kasey Palmer (Groin) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon)
