Current streaks

Recent form

Preston

Preston North End are currently experiencing a challenging period in their recent form, having gone eight games without a victory. Their last six matches have seen them struggle to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals whilst conceding ten. The Lilywhites have managed to secure three draws in this period, demonstrating some resilience, but have also suffered three defeats. Notably, Preston have kept two clean sheets in their last six games, both coming in goalless draws against Stoke City and Sunderland. Their defensive record has been somewhat inconsistent, with high-scoring losses to Bristol City (3-1) and Arsenal (3-0) in the League Cup contrasting with their tighter performances in other matches. The team's goal-scoring drought is particularly evident, with an average of just 0.5 goals per game over this stretch, suggesting they are finding it difficult to create and convert chances in the final third.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have displayed remarkable defensive solidity in their recent Championship outings, having gone unbeaten in their last six matches with five draws and one win. The Baggies have been particularly stingy at the back, conceding only four goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat muted, with just five goals scored across these six games. Notably, West Brom are currently on an impressive nine-game unbeaten streak, showcasing their resilience in the league. The team's recent matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, the 2-2 draw against Norwich City stands out as the most goal-laden fixture in this recent run.

Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Lilywhites struggling to find consistent success at Deepdale. They have managed just one win in their last six home matches, drawing three and losing two. Defensively, Preston have been somewhat porous, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, though they have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period. Their goal-scoring prowess has been underwhelming, netting only 0.83 goals per game on average. Notably, Preston have failed to score in two of their last six home matches, including a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the League Cup. The Championship side have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with half of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals, including an entertaining 2-2 draw with Norwich.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown a resilient but unspectacular away form in their recent Championship outings. The Baggies have managed to remain unbeaten in five of their last six away matches, with four draws and one win, demonstrating their ability to grind out results on the road. Their defensive solidity is evident, having kept two clean sheets and conceded only one goal in each of their other four matches. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring more than one goal only once in this run. The most notable game in this sequence was their 3-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, which bucked the trend of low-scoring affairs, as 67% of their away matches have seen under 2.5 goals. West Brom's ability to consistently find the net is apparent, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of these fixtures, suggesting they rarely fail to trouble the opposition's defence even when not at their best.
