Preston, a mid-table team in the Championship, is closer to reaching the playoffs this season, with a seven-point lead. A win against Huddersfield could close the gap between them and sixth-placed Norwich. However, they have only won one point in their last two games against bottom-half teams Watford and Birmingham. Despite this, they could break into the top six.

Huddersfield have suffered their second consecutive disappointing season, finishing in 21st place, only one point away from the danger zone, and are likely to face a battle for survival until the final round of the season.

Preston needs a home win to secure a playoff spot, as they have only won two points in their last two games. They have won ten of 20 games at home. Huddersfield’s six-game winless streak ended with a win over Millwall, but away from home, they have little chance to secure a positive result. Preston’s first h2h game this season was won 3:1 at John Smith’s Stadium.
