Preston vs Plymouth Argyle

Current streaks

Recent form

Preston

Preston North End are enduring a difficult run of form, currently sitting in 18th position in the Championship table. The Lilywhites have failed to secure a victory in their last seven matches, with their most recent six games resulting in four losses and two draws. During this period, Preston have struggled defensively, conceding 11 goals and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 outings. Their attack has also been underwhelming, managing to score just six goals in their previous six matches. Notably, Preston are on a concerning three-game losing streak, having fallen to Hull City, Queens Park Rangers, and Leeds United in their most recent fixtures. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, the majority of Preston's recent matches (67%) have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams finding the net in 83% of these encounters. This poor run of form has left Preston perilously close to the relegation zone, and they will need to turn things around quickly to ensure their Championship status for next season.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, two losses, and a draw in their last six matches. Despite their low position in the league table, the Pilgrims have demonstrated resilience, scoring and conceding an equal number of goals (8) during this period. Notably, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals. The team's most recent victory, a 3-1 win against Coventry City, stands out as their highest-scoring game in this run. While Plymouth have struggled to keep clean sheets, with only one in their last six matches, they have managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five out of six games. This attacking prowess is reflected in the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of their recent matches, suggesting exciting, end-to-end football for spectators.

Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston North End's recent home form has been underwhelming, with the Lilywhites struggling to secure victories at Deepdale. In their last six home matches, Preston have managed just one win, drawing three and losing two. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging only one goal per game, while their defence has been leaky, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. A particularly notable result was the 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Preston have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of these six matches, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of the games. The team's inability to string together consecutive wins at home is a concern, especially given their precarious 18th position in the Championship table.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been notably poor, with the team enduring a challenging run of results. The Pilgrims have lost four of their last six away matches, including their most recent three outings. Their sole victory came against Portsmouth in a 2-1 win, which stands out as a bright spot amidst their struggles. Defensively, Plymouth have been vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in these six matches, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. Their 3-0 defeat to Swansea City represents their heaviest loss in this period. Despite their difficulties, Plymouth managed to secure a clean sheet in a goalless draw against Watford, demonstrating some resilience. However, their overall goal difference of -7 in these six away games underscores their struggles both in attack and defence, with the team scoring just four goals during this stretch.
