The league table tells a clear story of two teams at opposite ends of the spectrum. Preston North End currently sits impressively in 5th position, accumulating 27 points from 17 games. Their record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, coupled with a solid defensive showing (17 goals conceded), highlights their consistency and ambition for promotion. In stark contrast, Sheffield Wednesday languishes at the very bottom of the Championship, 24th place, with a mere 8 points from 16 matches. Their season has been marred by a single win, 5 draws, and 10 losses, alongside a concerning goal difference of -20, having conceded 32 goals. This significant gap in form and quality will undoubtedly be a major factor in the upcoming clash.

Recent encounters between Sheffield Wednesday and Preston North End heavily favor the visitors. In their last seven meetings in the Championship, Preston has secured victory four times, with two draws and just one win for Sheffield Wednesday. The most recent clash saw Preston comfortably beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home in December 2024. Preston also recorded two 1-0 away victories against Wednesday in 2023. Sheffield Wednesday’s solitary win in this period came back in January 2021 with a 1-0 home triumph. This historical dominance, even when playing away, underscores Preston’s mental edge and tactical superiority in this fixture.
Our Prediction
Considering Sheffield Wednesday’s dire league position, leaky defense, and poor head-to-head record against Preston North End, it’s difficult to see them turning the tide here. Preston, on the other hand, is performing exceptionally well, with a strong defense and a clear drive for a playoff spot. Their ability to win away against Wednesday in recent times further strengthens our confidence.
