Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Leeds United. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Leeds United's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 16 games at Deepdale.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormThe Sheffield Wednesday squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Coventry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 42% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Coventry City, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 20 of their 24 games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 10 of their 12 away league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Sheffield Wednesday, Anthony Musaba will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Preston North End came out on top, winning the match 0-1.
Preston have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The Owls.
Wednesday have lost the last 2 times they've have visited Preston in the league and have failed to win any of their last 6 encounters at Deepdale.
With only Robbie Brady (Knock) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Danny Röhl has a number of injury concerns in his Wednesday squad to contend with: John Buckley (Shoulder), Mohamed Diaby (Leg), Dominic Iorfa (Leg), Mallik Wilks (Muscle) and Josh Windass (Muscle)
