Preston NE Preview – Can Preston continue job at home?
Preston registered a welcome win over Lancashire rivals, Blackburn Rovers, in the weekend’s 2-1 win away at Ewood Park which helped the hosts up into 11th place but overall results have seen a decline in Preston’s form of late.
The Lilywhites have managed to win just two of their last seven matches overall in the Championship, both of which have been achieved away from home with an earlier win at Birmingham City, but defeats to Nottingham Forest, Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United underline Preston’s inconsistent streak.
Further evidence of Preston’s inconsistent nature is that they put together a three-match winning streak which included wins against Middlesbrough, Bristol City and Coventry City but have since failed to win any of their last three at Deepdale.
Watford Preview – Can Watford record convincing win?
A 6-0 rout of Bristol City on the weekend helped maintain Watford’s push for automatic promotion from the Championship but The Hornets still trail 2nd placed Brentford by a six-point margin so the visitors know they must keep picking up wins.
Recent form has been reasonable enough for Xisco’s side as they’ve lost just one of their last seven matches overall in the Championship which was a 2-1 loss at home to QPR but four wins during this seven-match sequence have outweighed that disappointment.
Victories over Huddersfield Town, Barnsley, Stoke City and Bristol City should further boost Watford’s confidence along with the fact that they’ve lost just two of their last nine away matches too.
