Preston North End desperately need points on Saturday, May 1 at 1:30 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Preston North End come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Cardiff City, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Preston North End and Cardiff City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Preston North End win or a draw looks most likely.
