Preston have been brilliant in February, collecting 13 points from a possible 15 on offer. The Lilywhites secured their 13th Championship-win of the season away to Coventry on Saturday thanks to Emil Riis Jakobsen’s effort inside the opening minute, Will Keane’s 20th-minute strike and Bobby Thomas’ own goal seven minutes from the break. The result extended Ryan Lowe’s side’s unbeaten run to six games in the second tier, recording four wins in the process. Moreover, the Invincibles have been unbeaten in front of their own supporters this year, pocketing ten points from four fixtures at Deepdale in 2024.
Hull, on the other hand, have won each of their last four away-games against the likes of Sunderland, Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town and Southampton, with an overall scoreline of 7-3. The Tigers boast the fifth best away-record in the second tier this term, pocketing 29 points from 17 games on the road so far. After getting the better of automatic promotion chasing Southampton 2-1 at St. Mary’s Stadium on February 20, the Tigers shared the spoils with West Brom on Saturday despite taking the lead through Fabio Carvalho’s 35th-minute opener. Though the result ended their three-game winning run, Liam Rosenior’s side are holding on to the sixth and final playoff spot, three points clear of seventh placed Norwich City.
Preston North End probable starting lineup: Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Browne, Whiteman, McCann, Millar, Frokjaer-Jensen, Riis, Keane
