Recent respective form guides
Sheffield Wednesday's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Owls have scored 10, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Preston N.E.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The North End's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Sheff. Wed.'s 40 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Preston N.E. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 53 points from 30 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Owls at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the North End come away with an easy victory. Away win
