Match preview: Preston vs Plymouth
Preston and Plymouth will meet at Deepdale for the 45th round of the Championship. In their last encounter within this competition, on 26 April 2024, the match ended in a thrilling draw at 3-3. The recent head-to-head record favours the home side, who have secured 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 matches. Home advantage may play a significant role in this fixture, with both teams showing noticeable differences in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Preston
Following 10 wins, 19 draws, and 15 losses, the home team is currently positioned 18th, having accumulated 49 points. Their last match resulted in a loss against Hull City by 2-1, following a defeat at home to Queens Park Rangers with a score of 1-2. Preston has struggled on their travels, recording 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding 19. However, at home, they have performed better with 6 wins, 7 draws, and only 2 losses, having scored 19 goals and conceded 14. In their last 10 home games in the Championship, Preston has noted 3 wins, 6 draws, and 1 defeat, gaining 15 points out of a possible 30. The team has conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities, but their attack has been consistently finding the net, having scored in 7 of their last 10 Championship games. Out of 44 matches this season, they have conceded the first goal on 15 occasions and have never managed to turn the match around after going behind.
Preston North End enters this match needing a boost after their recent defeat. Their tactical setup generally favours a 3-5-2 formation, encouraging rapid transitions between defence and attack. Key offensive players include Mads Frøkjaer-Jensen and Milutin Osmajic, with Robbie Brady central to their playmaking efforts. Unfortunately, they will miss Stefán Teitur Thorderson due to suspension, along with injuries to Jack Whatmough, Ali McCann, Freddie Woodman, Duane Holmes, Brad Potts, and Will Keane.
Team analysis: Plymouth
The visiting side currently sits at 24th place with 43 points, having recorded 10 wins, 13 draws, and 21 losses. In their second-to-last match, they suffered a defeat against Middlesbrough by 2-1, while their recent outing saw them triumph at home against Coventry City with a scoreline of 3-1. Despite their struggles on the road—where they have managed only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses in their last 30 away matches, with 8 goals scored and 28 conceded—they have fared better at home with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats, scoring 25 goals and conceding 26. Within the Championship, Plymouth has mustered 7 points from a possible 30 over their last 10 away games, achieving 1 victory, 4 draws, and 5 losses. Their frequent first-half scoreline has been 0-0, appearing in 8 of their 22 away matches. Defensively, they have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 Championship matches, indicating their fragility at the back. Plymouth has struggled to take the lead, scoring first in only 10 of their last 44 outings and managing to hold onto a lead in just 7 of those cases.
Plymouth Argyle heads into this match needing to build on their confidence following a victory against Coventry. Their tactical approach typically involves a 3-4-3 formation, utilising three forwards: Muhamed Tijani, Ryan Hardie, and Mustapha Bundu. In this setup, Adam Randell, Darko Gyabi, Bali Mumba, and Karnel Szucs anchor the midfield, with Randell tasked with supporting the attackers. They will be without Joe Edwards due to suspension, alongside Matthew Sorinola, Brendan Galloway, and Maksym Talovierov, who are all dealing with injuries.
