Wrexham v Preston North End

Championship, game week 11 — UK time

Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

What this step says

+0.60 points a game is the venue form gap, in Wrexham's favour: Wrexham takes 1.64 a game at home over the last two seasons, Preston North End 1.04 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Wrexham: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season. Preston North End: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season.

The question this step asks

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Wrexham -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 2, lost 2 of 5, scoring 6 and conceding 7. Last season at home: won 10, drew 6, lost 4 of 20, scoring 36 and conceding 29 -- 1.80 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to West Bromwich Albion 1-2 at home; drew with Derby County 1-1 away; beat Southampton 2-1 at home; lost to West Ham United 0-6 away; drew with Burnley 1-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 37 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Phil Parkinson. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Preston North End -- away

Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 4 of 5, scoring 4 and conceding 11. Last season away: won 6, drew 7, lost 7 of 20, scoring 25 and conceding 30 -- 1.25 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Birmingham City 0-4 away; lost to Millwall 0-1 at home; drew with Queens Park Rangers 2-2 away; lost to Lincoln City 0-1 at home; lost to Watford 1-2 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 34 matches with one recorded (32, 2 apiece), most recently Graham Alexander with 2. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
