Derby County have reset their minds and bodies following their 0-0-game versus Swansea City and are looking forward to go again when travelling to Preston North End. Here's all the details!
- Preston North End have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Championship
- Derby County have the fewest matches over the total-line (2) in Championship
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Preston North End form and stats
2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Preston North End so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager F. McAvoy led his Preston to a defeat in the Championship match away at Queens Park Rangers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Deepdale. Daniel Iversen had a busy but productive day in the Queens Park Rangers match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. The versatile forward Sean Maguire edged out all others in that match and was awarded a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Maguire served one assist and hit one key pass.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Stoke City.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Preston North End handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, one draw and five defeats.
