Preston North End (home)
- Preston North End are 23rd with 0 points in the 2026/2027 Championship after 1 game: Preston North End are 23rd with 0 points, while Wolves are 3rd with 1 point.
- Preston have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5 matches, so the pressure will be on the hosts on Saturday.
Wolves (away)
- Wolves are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 games, including a 3-0 win over Port Vale and a 2-2 draw with Blackburn last time out.
- Wolves look like a team with a plan at both ends of the field, with Cesar Peixoto's team being much more compact, playing with much less of the ball and springing quick vertical breaks with their sharpness.
- In theory, the two styles should lead to a game of territory versus transition, with Wolves the more likely to punish mistakes.
Preston North End
Jusef Erabi leads the way in the scoring for Preston with 1 goal in 1 Championship game and they will need a focal point up top if they are to win on Saturday.
Wolves
- Fer Lopez has 1 assist in 1 Championship appearance so far, but has 3 goals in Wolves' last 5 matches and is a livewire in the final third.
- Marshall Munetsi has 1 goal in 1 Championship outing and brings a combination of power and timing that Wolves have often needed in the central midfield area.
Betting Insights
Wolves are 1.7 favorites, with Preston coming in at a touch of a value at 4.65 and the draw at 3.75 , but we feel the market is fairly close to where it should be for this one, bar the fact that it will be a close game, not a runaway victory.
Prediction
We are sticking with Wolves to come out on top in this game, but the odds on both teams to score are so good that we cannot ignore them, as this game should be played on the edge of your seat.
