Preston – Norwich

Match analysis

Preston host Norwich in what promises to be a stark clash of ambitions, with the Lancashire side languishing in 23rd place on just three points after one win and six defeats, their goal tally a modest six from 13 attempts. Norwich sit comfortably mid‑table in 12th, having amassed nine points from three victories and four losses, their attack matching the league average with 13 goals scored. The stark contrast in form suggests Preston will be desperate to close the gap at the bottom, while Norwich will look to consolidate their position and push for a higher finish. Their head‑to‑head record this season offers Preston a chance to cause an upset, but the numbers heavily favour the visitors.
