A third EFL Championship triumph is on the horizon for Wrexham when they do battle with an out-of-sorts Preston North End at Racecourse Ground on matchday 11. Wrexham won 2-1 at home in the teams’ previous Championship meeting, strengthening our prediction for a home win.

Wrexham have maintained a three-point cushion over the red-dotted line. They currently sit in 17th place and have amassed 11 points from their opening ten games.

Phil Parkinson's men have not been at their best lately in terms of performance. So far, his side have managed just one win from their last six league games, including a two-match unbeaten run.

Defensive lapses in their recent home match against West Bromwich Albion saw the Reds squander a one-goal lead and suffer a narrow 2-1 defeat.

Preston North End are sitting at the foot of the table with four points to their name. They have a 1-1-8 record and have scored the second-fewest goals in the division.

However, their demise stems from a porous defense that has seen them concede an alarming 20 goals. This is currently the league's joint-worst defensive record.

Newly appointed head coach Graham Alexander has yet to find a solution to this problem. Seven goals have been conceded in his last two games in charge. The most recent outing was a 4-0 away hammering at the hands of Birmingham City.

Our Wrexham vs Preston North End Prediction

Neither side is in great form heading into this clash, but if we were to put our trust in one team, that would be Wrexham. The home side are unbeaten in their last three meetings against Preston, with two wins recorded. One of those victories was in the Championship with Phil Parkinson's men winning 2-1.

Preston North End's weak defensive setup could be their failure in this impending encounter. Besides that, the visitors have lost their last two league games, suggesting another unfavorable outcome on the road. Our Wrexham vs Preston North End prediction: Wrexham wins.
