Data provided by

This weekend, Wrexham vs Preston North End predictions and betting tips bring Championship football to the Racecourse Ground at 3pm, with the hosts favoured against a Preston side rooted to the foot of the table.

Wrexham were beaten 2-1 at home by West Brom last time out and remain a work in progress in the second tier, but home advantage against bottom club Preston gives them a strong chance. Preston have lost eight of their 10 games and arrive with the division’s joint-leakiest defence.

Anthony Eadson fancies the hosts to take the points and has built his selections around goals at both ends and Wrexham’s main striker.

Premium Tips

Two picks for a Racecourse Ground clash Wrexham should win, albeit not without some end-to-end play.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Kieffer Moore to score anytime11/8 (Sky Bet)Kieffer Moore is Wrexham’s go-to man in the box and leads their scoring on four goals, a tally that stands out in a side still finding its feet at this level. Against a Preston defence that has shipped 20 goals in 10 games, the joint-most in the Championship, the Wales international should get chances at the Racecourse. Moore’s aerial presence is a nightmare for struggling back lines, and Wrexham will look to feed him from wide areas. At 11/8 the big striker is a solid anchor to find the net against the division’s bottom side on home soil.
Andrew Hughes to be carded3/1 (bet365)Andrew Hughes is a committed defender for a Preston side that is bottom of the table and likely to spend long spells chasing the game at the Racecourse. The Lilywhites have lost eight of their 10 matches and conceded 20 goals, so their back line is routinely under pressure, which tends to lead to late challenges and bookings. Hughes is the sort of experienced campaigner who will throw himself into tackles to stem the tide against Kieffer Moore and company. At 3/1 a card for the full-back makes appeal in a game Wrexham are expected to dominate for long periods.

How Wrexham go into the game

Wrexham sit 17th on 11 points after a 2-1 home defeat by West Brom. It has been a mixed start, with a 2-1 home win over Southampton the highlight and a 6-0 loss at West Ham the low point.

The hosts have scored 11 and conceded 15, with Kieffer Moore their top scorer on four. Home form will be key to climbing clear of the bottom three.

How Preston North End go into the game

Preston prop up the table on four points, having lost eight of their 10 games, including a 4-0 defeat at Birmingham last time out. That summed up a miserable start.

The Lilywhites have scored just eight goals and conceded 20, the joint-worst record in the division. Callum Lang is their main threat with three.
