Preston North End, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Blackburn Rovers in their last league game, Preston North End will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Blackburn Rovers, who had 22 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 12 home games.
They have had a good run of form at Deepdale recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Cardiff City, Recent FormThe Cardiff City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Norwich City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Norwich City who had 20 attempts and 8 on target.
Erol Bulut will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Aaron Ramsey will be hoping to create problems for Preston North End in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cardiff City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-0 win for Preston North End.
