Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Watford last time out. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Watford who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Ryan Lowe will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Bristol City. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. Unable to score in 5 of their last 6 away games, they will need to improve in front of goal if they are to pick up more points.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Callum Robinson has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Preston North End.
Cardiff City will be feeling reasonably buoyed up after gaining a point in their previous 0-0 draw against Preston North End.
The Bluebirds have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to Preston. In their past 5 meetings, Cardiff's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so The Lilywhites will have to take their chances when they come. Preston have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Cardiff. Cardiff have a good attacking record away to The Lilywhites in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
In the league, Cardiff has a good track record when they travel to Preston, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
With only Andrew Hughes (Groin) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Sabri Lamouchi has a number of injury concerns in his Cardiff squad to contend with: Ebou Adams (Leg), Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament) and Callum Robinson (Hamstring)
