Not long ago Wolves were a Premier League club, and now they face Preston North End on Matchday 2 of the Championship. If you're backing The Old Gold like us, the good news is the bulk of that squad has dropped into the Championship with them. See our full Preston North End vs Wolves match prediction below.
The Old Gold were held to a draw on the opening weekend against Blackburn (2-2), but the quality in their ranks is a level above this fixture. Raúl Jiménez and Adam Armstrong lead an attack Preston cannot hope to match on paper. They came down as one of the strongest squads in the division.
The Lilywhites, by contrast, are short on both form and firepower. They finished 14th last season, lost several loan forwards over the summer, and have gone winless in eight of their last 10 home league games. In fact, the last two league games at Deepdale were back-to-back defeats to West Brom (2-0) and Southampton (3-1).
Already, Preston opened the new season with a 2-1 defeat to Bolton, marking four defeats in their last five Championship outings. And speaking of defeats, Wolves have won three of their last four competitive matches against Preston without tasting defeat.

Our Preston North End vs Wolves Prediction
So, backing The Old Gold here is about as clear as it gets. A relegated Premier League side, with Jiménez and Armstrong up top, rolls into a struggling Preston team. The Lilywhites have lost four of their last five and won only twice at home in their last 10.
Wolves, meanwhile, have seen off Preston in three of their last four meetings. Even on the road, the visitors carry far too much. Hence, our Preston North End vs Wolves match prediction is Wolves wins.
