Preston NE Preview – Can Preston resurrect play-off bid?
After seemingly being on course for a top six finish and the play-off spot that comes with it, Preston North End have imploded in recent times as the hosts have lost four of their last five matches overall in the Championship and they now find themselves in 7th place and three points adrift of 6th placed Cardiff City.
Defeats to West Brom, Fulham, QPR and Cardiff City have been extremely disappointing but they’ve also been against three of the teams currently occupying the top six in the Championship, and they have an opportunity on Wednesday night to turn things around at Deepdale.
Despite the recent losses, Preston still possess a reasonable looking home record of 11-3-6 36/27 and the hosts know that they can’t afford another slip-up here against a Derby outfit who have struggled on the road this season.
Derby County Preview – Can Derby make play-off bid?
Having won their last four matches on the trot in the Championship, Derby County are making a late bid for a top six finish and momentum is certainly behind The Rams as they’ve collected impressive wins either side of the lockdown in the second tier.
Following victories over Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Reading respectively, Philip Cocu’s side are now building late momentum and includes winning their last two matches on the trot away from home which could indicate a significant turning point in their campaign.
Derby’s form and results away from home had long hindered the east midlands club as they’d earlier had had to endure a very lean period of 13 matches without a win on their travels, but they’ll head up to Preston having won three of their last five on the road, while goals have also featured regularly with 14 of Derby’s 19 away matches resulting in over 2.5 goals.
