Current streaks

Recent form

Preston

Preston North End have shown a mixed but generally positive form in their recent fixtures, sitting 15th in the Championship with 40 points from 31 games. The Lilywhites have been defensively solid, conceding only four goals in their last six matches and keeping three clean sheets, including two consecutive goalless draws in their most recent outings against Burnley and Wycombe. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring six goals in this period for an average of one goal per game. Preston's resilience is evident in their unbeaten run of four matches across all competitions, which includes two consecutive Championship victories against Middlesbrough and Watford. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, Preston have demonstrated their ability to grind out results, with 50% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, highlighting their tight defensive approach.

Millwall

Millwall have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of four consecutive wins across all competitions before their latest two matches. This winning streak included three clean sheets, demonstrating their defensive solidity during that period. However, their most recent outing saw them suffer a heavy 5-1 defeat away to Plymouth Argyle, which is particularly noteworthy as a high-scoring game. Despite this setback, Millwall have managed to score in each of their last six matches, averaging 1.33 goals per game. Their defensive record has been relatively strong, with three clean sheets in six games, although the five goals conceded against Plymouth have significantly impacted their goals conceded per game statistic. The Lions' current 14th position in the league table suggests there's room for improvement, but their recent form indicates they're capable of climbing higher if they can maintain the consistency shown in their four-match winning run.

Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston North End have shown solid form at home recently, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Deepdale. The Lilywhites have displayed a mix of resilience and attacking prowess, securing three wins and three draws during this period. Notably, Preston have kept two clean sheets in their last two home fixtures, demonstrating improved defensive stability. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, their 3-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday stands out as their most impressive offensive display. Preston's goal-scoring average of 1.33 goals per game at home is respectable, but it's their defensive record that truly shines, conceding just 0.67 goals per match. This balance has contributed to an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, offering variety for spectators. Despite their mid-table position in the Championship, Preston's recent home form suggests they're a tough proposition for any visiting team.

Millwall

Millwall have shown impressive form away from home in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins against Leeds United, Portsmouth, and Luton Town. However, their most recent away match saw a heavy 5-1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle, breaking their winning streak and highlighting their inconsistency. The Lions have been particularly strong defensively in their away games, keeping four clean sheets in their last six matches on the road. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, but they've managed to secure positive results in five out of their last six away fixtures. The draw against Sheffield Wednesday was a high-scoring affair, ending 2-2, while their match against Coventry City resulted in a goalless stalemate. Despite their mixed form, Millwall have shown resilience on their travels, with 67% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals, suggesting they often keep matches tight when playing away from The Den.
