Huddersfield Town, Recent FormIt's fair to say Huddersfield Town will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Bristol City, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Bristol City who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
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 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 17 of their 20 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Terriers, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Norwich City. They came away from that fixture with a 36% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Norwich City, who managed 18 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Ryan Lowe will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to score in their last 3 games in a row, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 17 of their 20 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Milutin Osmajić will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Huddersfield Town recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Playing at home, Huddersfield have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Preston.
Greg Cunningham has scored in each of Preston's last 0 league games against Huddersfield.
Huddersfield manager Darren Moore has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pat Jones (Hamstring), Lee Nicholls (Neck), Jack Rudoni (Foot), Josh Ruffels (Groin), Ollie Turton (Cruciate ligament) and Ben Wiles (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Preston manager Ryan Lowe ahead of this clash, with Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Lowe a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
