Wolves – Preston

Wolves host Preston in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side sitting eighth in the table on 11 points from three wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a modest 14‑10 goal difference. Preston, languishing at 23rd with just three points after one victory and six defeats, carry a worrying 6‑13 deficit and will need to reverse a run of poor results to avoid slipping further down the table. The disparity in recent performances suggests Wolves will enter the match as clear favourites, especially given their unbeaten streak in the last five games. However, Preston’s lone win this season shows they are capable of an upset if they can tighten up defensively and exploit any lapses from the Wolves side. The fixture also offers Wolves a chance to consolidate their push for a top‑six finish, while Preston fights to climb out of the relegation zone.
