Preston – Wrexham

Preston host Wrexham in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides, with the home side languishing near the bottom of the table at 23rd place with just three points from seven games. Wrexham sit a little higher in 19th, having amassed seven points from seven fixtures, but both teams have struggled to find the net, Preston scoring six and conceding 13, while the Robins have managed seven goals while letting in 11. The contrast in recent form is stark: Preston have suffered six defeats and only one win, whereas Wrexham have managed to avoid defeat in four of their last six matches. A positive result could see Preston climb out of the relegation zone, while Wrexham will be looking to close the gap on the teams above them and cement a mid‑table position.
