Wrexham
- Wrexham are in poor form in the Championship (W1, D3, L1), but they did beat Preston North End the last time they met at this venue (2-1) and are unbeaten in the last three head-to-head meetings (W2, D1).
- Phil Parkinson's Red Dragons have won just one of their four home games this season (W1, D2, L1), so that should be enough of a base to go into Saturday's clash with some confidence.
- Wrexham's 3-4-2-1 system is set up to flood wide areas and play into their big man up top at every opportunity.
Preston North End
- Preston North End are without an away win in their last three matches (D1, L2).
- The Lilywhites arrive at SToK Cae Ras off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Millwall, while Wrexham last won at home against Southampton (2-1) in their most recent fixture.
Head-to-Head
- Wrexham haven't lost any of the last three meetings with Preston North End (W2, D1).
- Preston North End are without an away win in their last three matches (D1, L2).
Key Players
Kieffer Moore is Wrexham's key man up front with three in eight, while Callum Lang has been in good form for the visitors with three goals in eight Championship matches.
Betting Insights
- A home win would be no surprise here as the two clubs are at opposite ends of the Championship table with Wrexham sitting 14th with 11 points from nine games and Preston 24th with just four.
- Preston are yet to win an away game in the Championship after four attempts (D1, L3) and that is a concern, although they are a structured enough side to make this a lot closer than the odds suggest.
- The hosts look likely to edge it if they can keep the edge, so we're taking the Red Dragons at 1.76 in the head-to-head market.
- A Wrexham win with under 3.5 goals could be the way to go if the favorite edge holds through the week as these two aren't prolific scorers.
- The home side have scored five goals in four Championship games so far, while Preston have managed four goals from as many away league fixtures.
