Saturday’s jam-packed schedule in the Championship gets underway at Deppdale where Preston North End will be playing host to Sheffield Wednesday. The Lilywhites are 16th in the league with 26 points while the Owls are ninth with 33 points after 23 games. Check out our match prediction below.
With half the season now complete, Preston North End is slightly off the pace compared to last term when they ended the campaign on 63 points.
The Lilywhites won their last match 1-0 versus Hull City, marking just their second win in their last 13 league games, with the other coming against Cardiff City last month.
However, the hosts have been a tough side to beat at home this season, currently undefeated in their last five, while they have only been bested twice in 12 games at Deepdale this term.
Meanwhile, with 33 points to their names, Sheffield Wednesday are well on course to surpass the 53 points they managed across last season.
The Owls pulled off a sensational comeback from three goals down to take a point (3-3) off Middlesbrough on Boxing Day, which took them to three games unbeaten.
On the road, the visitors are unbeaten in four (W3 D1 L0), and have scored two or more goals in six of the last seven matches on their travels.

Our Preston North End vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
While Preston North End have found wins hard to come by this season (five from 23 games) they have been a very tough side to beat at home, conceding only two defeats at Deepdale this term.
Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, are entering this match with confidence off the back of a sensational comeback against Boro, but that match also showed their tendency to leak goals cheaply. This should be a close contest but we fancy both sides to get on the scoresheet. Our Preston North End vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction is both teams to score.
