Preston North End form and stats

A Championship draw at home so far for Preston North End. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 10 draws and 4 defeats from 23 matches.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Preston North End, as their goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has completely shut out the opponents for 312 minutes in the Championship.

It's back home for Preston, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Luton Town away with the result 1-0. Potts found the net in that victory. Storey was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.84 out of 10. The defender Storey won 11 of 18 duels.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Preston North End have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Watford are coming to town in four days.

Rotherham United form and stats

Impressive finishing from Lindsay, Ogbene, Wood and Washington secured the home win 4-0 against Reading in their previous game. Eureka; their first victory in the league after nine matches not winning. As you can tell from the results above, Rotherham United was very dominant against Reading, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Lindsay, Ogbene, Wood and Washington providing the goals. Goalkeeper Johansson was absolutely vital in the Rotherham United victory against Reading, making six saves. Johansson (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.51. Johansson topped it up with a clean sheet.
