Preston North End are close to securing their place in the Championship, but the same can’t be said of Plymouth Argyle. The two sides are set to face off on matchday 45, with Plymouth sitting rock bottom and Preston 18th. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Preston will host this match looking to recover from a run of seven winless outings. In their last three matches, they suffered straight defeats, the latest being a 2-1 fall away to Hull City.

This stretch of poor results is what has stopped Preston from confirming their survival yet. With their current goal difference, three more points will secure their stay in the Championship.

Plymouth’s route to survival is much more complicated. Staying in the second tier is at the moment out of the Pilgrims’ hands. They are three points adrift of safety and with a massively negative goal difference.

To avoid the drop, Plymouth must get at least a draw and a win in the remaining matches while hoping the teams above them all lose. In their last five outings, Plymouth Argyle posted three wins.

The most recent of those was a 3-1 victory against Coventry City earlier in the week. The visitors will be looking to invoke the spirit of the last meeting with Preston, when they drew 3-3 from 3-0 down.

In terms of recent form, though, Plymouth carry the better run. They have three wins in the last five matches, and their chase for survival will push them even more.
