Preston vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Preston conceded 62 goals in the Championship last season
• Only seven sides conceded more home goals than Preston
• Wolves scored twice in a draw with Blackburn last weekend

Wolves can show their bite

There were teething problems for Wolves in their return to the Championship last week, as they needed a late penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Wolves still rank among the favourites for promotion, and their impressive attacking options are a key part of that. Adam Armstrong, who scored 11 Championship goals last season before making a January switch to Wolves, started last week’s draw. Raul Jimenez came off the bench to convert the key spot-kick, while Wolves have Premier League quality in attacking areas.

Preston fell to a 2-1 defeat at Bolton last week, and this could be a season of struggle for the Deepdale side. They were 2-0 down within 20 minutes last weekend, and their defensive issues suggest that Wolves’ forward line could thrive this weekend.

Only seven teams conceded more goals at home than Preston last term, while they shipped 62 Championship goals overall.

Wolves look a little vulnerable defensively, and that could cost them in a tight chase for promotion, but with Preston among the sides tipped to struggle this term, back Wolves to record a routine victory.
