Derby vs Preston

Derby have only lost one of their last 14 home league games against Preston North End (W8 D5), a 0-1 reverse in December 2020 under Wayne Rooney.

Preston have lost just one of their last six games against Derby County in all competitions (W3 D2), although that was their last away game against the Rams, a 1-0 defeat in the Championship in April 2022.

Derby have won each of their last three games in the Championship, as many as their previous 26 beforehand (W3 D8 L15); the Rams last won four successive matches in the competition in July 2020 (5 in a row).

After their 2-1 win over Portsmouth, Preston are looking to win back-to-back Championship games for only the third time this season, after doing so in December (v Hull & Sheffield Wednesday) and January (v Watford & Middlesbrough).

Marcus Harness has three goals and an assist in Derby’s last two league games, this after only scoring once and assisting once in his first 31 appearances in the Championship for the Rams beforehand.
