Preston North End form and stats

With 1 Championship win, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Preston North End, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Championship, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Preston enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at AFC Bournemouth's place. The match ended 3-2 with Scott Sinclair, Patrick Bauer and Tom Barkhuizen scoring. Prior to that, an away loss at Watford.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Preston matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and zero defeats (from two games).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Preston North End, as the Championship home game vs Middlesbrough is only four days away.

Preston have scored 2 goals here in 7 league matches, a depressing statistic. 10 goals have been conceded.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

Wycombe Wanderers, who have the the worst goal difference (-10) away in Championship, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Championship, after 1-1-5 (7 played).

The manager G. Ainsworth was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Adams Park. Wanderers suffered a 0-1 loss to Stoke City (placed 8th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Derby County that ended 1-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Wanderers when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.

Wycombe Wanderers has another fixture away, a Championship game, against Barnsley in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Wycombe Wanderers manager G. Ainsworth has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Preston, zero draws and zero wins for Wycombe Wanderers. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
