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 away fixture against Birmingham City. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Birmingham City managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. So far in the league this season, playing at home has not proved to be an advantage for them when it comes to scoring goals, having failed to score in 8 of their 14 games at Deepdale.
Preston North End will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Deepdale, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Preston North End, Ched Evans will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 6 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Nigel Pearson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
There will be mixed feelings from The Robins, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Antoine Semenyo has scored in each of Bristol City's last league game.
