Wrexham – Preston

Match analysis

Wrexham host Preston in what promises to be a decisive encounter for both sides as the season draws to a close. Sitting 19th with seven points from one win, four draws and two defeats, the home side have struggled to find the net, managing just seven goals while conceding eleven. Preston, languishing in 23rd place with only three points from a solitary victory and six losses, are in an even poorer defensive shape, having let in 13 times in eight games. The head‑to‑head record offers little comfort for the visitors, who will need to tighten up at the back if they are to avoid slipping further down the table. A win for Wrexham could lift them out of the relegation zone, while Preston will be desperate to pick up any points to keep their survival hopes alive.
