Preston North End, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Bristol City will not have sat easily with the Preston North End squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they recorded 54% of the possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 4 of their 13 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 4 of their last 6 matches. With 9 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. They've had an unusually high number of draws this season, with 7 draws in 14 league games.
Goalscorer Emil Riis will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Preston North End.
Stoke City, Recent FormIn their last fixture against Sheffield United, Stoke City managed a 3-1 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Sheffield United who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
Alex Neil will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
There will be mixed feelings from The Potters, while they've been undefeated in their last 3 league games away from home, they've drawn the last 2 of these games in a row.
Away from home in the league, Lewis Baker has given the Stoke City travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
It was one to forget for Stoke City last time they met Preston North End in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
In the past 4 away matches at Preston in the league, The Potters have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.
Preston have been unbeaten the last 3 times they have faced Stoke in the league.
Without any real injury worries ahead of this clash, Preston manager Ryan Lowe will be happy to have a full squad to pick from to help execute his game plan.
Stoke manager Alex Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jacob Brown (Muscle), Gavin Kilkenny (Groin) and Harry Souttar (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
