Preston North End will play host to Fulham in the 21st round of matches in the Championship on Tuesday. Going to the game Preston have 31 points and are placed seventh while Fulham have 35 points, and are placed third. It has not been an easy ride for Preston in the past few matches; they head to this clash on the back of four straight losses, in which they have also failed to score. They have managed just one clean sheet in the last 13 matches and have four wins in the 13. Preston have scored in nine of the last15 matches but have no clean sheet in the last seven home matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have three wins in five home matches. Among the top seven teams in the standings, Preston have the second poorest defence having conceded 25 goals in 20 matches. They have managed justone win in the last 11 matches against Fulham.

On the other hand, Fulham’s quest for a straight return to the Premier League is on course. They were only slowed in their last game by the loss to Bristol City, another promotion hopeful. Fulham have four wins in their last five matches and have lost just twice in the last 10. They have not had the best defence in the season and have managed just three clean sheets in the last 11 matches. They have however compensated that with a good return in attack, scoring in 12 of the last 15 matches. They also have the third best attack in the Championship, having scored 32 goals. They are unbeaten in seven matches against Preston, winning four of those and each of the last five meetings between the two has produced over 2.5 goals.
