Preston North End, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers will not have sat easily with the Preston North End squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Queens Park Rangers who had 17 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Ryan Lowe will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ched Evans will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormWith Watford sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Huddersfield Town won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 9 of their last 10 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 10 away games.
Josh Ruffels has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Preston North End.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Preston North End.
In their last 2 league meetings with Preston, The Terriers have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. Huddersfield have struggled to break down The Lilywhites defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the past Preston have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 10 games in a row.
Preston man Alan Browne will be confident about extending his scoring record against Huddersfield, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
Preston manager Ryan Lowe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Robbie Brady (Muscle), Troy Parrott (Hamstring) and Emil Riis (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Huddersfield manager Mark Fotheringham with Tino Anjorin (Ankle), Etienne Camara (COVID-19), Pat Jones (Hamstring), Matty Pearson (Broken foot) and Ollie Turton (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Yuta Nakayama (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
