The Preston North End squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-2 away defeat against Swansea City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Swansea City managed 12 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.  

Ryan Lowe, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 9 goals scored.  They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Deepdale.  They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.  

They have been performing well at Deepdale recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.  

Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Preston North End, Tom Cannon will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.

Blackburn Rovers had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Coventry City.  In that game they had 55% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Coventry City who had 4 attempts and 3 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Jon Dahl Tomasson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.  

They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 5 consecutive games without a win.  

Away from home in the league, Sam Gallagher has given the Blackburn Rovers travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.  

Preston North End vs. Blackburn Rovers Head to head

After a good 1-4 win for Preston North End in this pair's last league encounter, Blackburn Rovers will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.  

In the past 7 away matches at Preston in the league, Rovers have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.  When Blackburn visit The Lilywhites in the league, goals tend to happen, with 9 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 3 goals per match.  

In the league, Blackburn has a good track record when they travel to Preston, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.  

Blackburn man Sam Gallagher will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Preston, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Deepdale.
