Match Facts
Preston North End are unbeaten in their last 19 league matches against Coventry City (W11 D8) since losing 2-1 in September 2007.
Coventry have never won an away league game against Preston in 21 attempts (D8 L13). It’s the most the Sky Blues have played away at a team without winning in the top four tiers.
After picking up 19 points in their first seven league games of the season (W6 D1), Preston have picked up just three points in the seven games since (D3 L4), though two of those three points have come at home.
Coventry have lost each of their last two away league matches, last losing three successive such games in February last season. Indeed, the Sky Blues could also fail to score in three consecutive away league games for the first time since October 2020.
Preston have conceded in each of their last nine league games (18 in total), it’s their longest such run in the league since an 11-game stretch between November 2021/January 2022.
