  • Wrexham unbeaten in six, with thrrre wins and three draws

  • Preston are fifth after just one defeat in seven games

  • Recommended bet: Over 2.5 Goals

Preston are into the Championship play-off places after last week's 3-2 victory at Sheffield Wednesday and will be hoping to stay there by seeing off Wrexham at Deepdale.

The Dragons, though, are unbeaten in six themselves and will be buoyed by the fact they have won at Preston this season, 3-2 in a League Cup tie in back August.

Team news

Jamal Lewis tweaked his hamstring in Preston's 3-2 win at Hillsborough last weekend, so boss Paul Heckingbottom will be pleased that Andrija Vukcevic is fit after two months out.

Robbie Brady, Ali McCann, Brad Potts and Lewis Gibson are still out, but Everton loanee Harrison Armstrong is fit to feature.

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson will stick with the same squad, with Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, Issa Kabore, Andy Cannon and Jay Rodriguez still sidelined.

The stats

Preston have lost only one of their last seven and have found the net in each of those seven fixtures.

Wrexham won 3-2 at Preston back in August in the second round of the League Cup.

Wrexham's last eight Championship results read W-D-W-D-W-D-W-D.

North End win an average of 3.7 corners per home game, the lowest in the division.

The North Wales side are without a win in their last five away games, drawing four of them, the last two – at Portsmouth and Ipswich – finishing goalless.

Prediction

Preston and Wrexham are in the habit of not losing games and that makes the draw a big runner at Deepdale.

North End, of course, were the stalemate kings last term with 20 of them in the Championship, while it is Wrexham who are taking their crown this season with a division-high eight draws so far.

Both clubs are clearly going well and mutual respect certainly suggests this will be a tight-run thing.

So tight, in fact, that the prices suggest very few goals, which again reflects the fact that 11 of Wrexham's last 12 league contests have produced two goals or less.

Considering how many goals Wrexham were scoring on their way to the second tier, it is quite a turnaround.

These teams have already met once this season with the Welshmen winning 3-2 at Deepdale in a League Cup tie.

Preston also won 3-2 last weekend at Hillsborough against Sheff Wed, so have the firepower when required and six of their last 11 matches have produced three goals or more.
