Basement boys Preston face another daunting task to end their winless run when they welcome 10th-placed Sheffield Utd to Deepdale in Championship Round 14 clash on Tuesday. The Lilywhites are on an eight-match winless run in the English second division and are likely to struggle against the in-form Sheffield Utd, hence our prediction.
A fierce battle to beat the drop is staring Preston in the face in the coming months. The Lilywhites have found themselves bottom of the league standings with just five points from one win, two draws, and 10 defeats.
Their dismal start to the campaign continued at Stoke last weekend, when they fell 2–0 to the hosts, courtesy of goals from Ben Wilmot and Jack McGlynn. Notably, last weekend's defeat extended their winless run in the league to eight matches (D2, L6). They also failed to win their last three matches at Deepdale, losing two.
Sheffield Utd continued their recent resurgence with a 1–0 victory over Wrexham last week. That result saw the Blades pick up an impressive seven points in three Championship matches, climbing to 10th in the standings with 19 points.
Chris Wilder's team will look to build on that momentum as they look to continue their push for a playoff spot. They have won four of their last six Championship matches against Preston, including two of their last three visits to Deepdale.
