Plymouth Argyle 3-3 Preston

Current streaks

Recent form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find their footing in the Championship. The Pilgrims have suffered a concerning run of three defeats in their last four matches, including a heavy 5-0 loss to Cardiff City, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Their defensive record is worrying, having conceded 10 goals in their last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches. Despite occasional glimpses of promise, such as their 3-1 victory over Luton Town, Argyle's overall performance has been lacklustre, with only two wins in their last six outings. Their current 20th position in the league table reflects their difficulties, and their negative goal difference of -5 further underlines the challenges they face in both attack and defence.

Preston

Preston North End have shown a mixed bag of form in their recent outings, currently sitting 14th in the Championship with 13 points from 11 games. Their last six matches have yielded two wins, three draws, and one loss, demonstrating a resilient but somewhat inconsistent run. Defensively, Preston have been solid, keeping four clean sheets and conceding just 0.83 goals per game in this period. Their most impressive result came in a 3-0 victory over Watford, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in the recent stretch. While Preston haven't embarked on any notable winning or losing streaks, they have been difficult to beat, with only one defeat in their last six matches. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their even split between under and over 2.5 goals per game, suggesting they're adept at managing tight contests.

Recent home/away form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle have been in impressive form at home, winning their last three Championship matches at Home Park. The Pilgrims are currently on a four-game unbeaten run at home, with their only defeat in the last six home fixtures coming against Stoke City. Despite their 20th position in the league, Argyle have been prolific in front of their own fans, scoring 12 goals in their last six home games, averaging 2 goals per match. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their home games seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, Plymouth have kept only one clean sheet in this period, but their attacking prowess has compensated for their defensive vulnerabilities, resulting in a positive goal difference of 6.

Preston

Preston's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Lilywhites struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away fixtures, Preston have managed just one win, coupled with two draws and three losses. The standout performance came in the League Cup, where they thrashed Harrogate Town 5-0, showcasing their attacking potential. However, this has been overshadowed by their league form, where they've conceded three goals in three separate matches against Swansea, Oxford United, and Millwall. Preston have kept two clean sheets in this run, including their most recent goalless draw at Burnley, but their defensive frailties are evident with an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. The team's goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with 8 goals in 6 matches, though this figure is boosted by their cup performance. Interestingly, 67% of Preston's away games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs despite their own offensive struggles in the league.
