Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston's recent home form has been characterised by a notable string of draws, with four consecutive stalemates before their latest victory against Hull City. The Lilywhites have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six home matches. Defensively, Preston have been relatively solid, conceding only six goals during this period and keeping two clean sheets. The majority of their home games have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their recent win, Preston's home form remains a concern, as they've managed only one victory in their last six outings at Deepdale.

While their defensive record has been solid, conceding 1.17 goals per game, they have managed only one clean sheet in this period.
