Match Facts
Each of Preston North End’s last four home league games against Wolves have finished as draws since a 3-1 loss in September 2008. It’s the same amount of stalemates as across their prior 18 home meetings with Wolves combined.
Wolves have lost just one of their last eight league games against Preston North End (W3 D4), with this the first meeting between the pair since a 1-1 draw in February 2018.
Preston have lost just two of their last 11 league games against sides relegated from the Premier League the season prior (W4 D5), though did lose their most recent on home soil against Southampton in May (1-3).
Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Wolves have failed to win any of their last 11 matches played on either MD1 or MD2 (D2 L9), losing each of their five away games in that run while netting just one goal in total.
On MD1 of the 2026-27 Championship season, no player completed more successful passes than Wolves defender Toti Gomes (88), while his 95.7% pass accuracy rate was the strongest of any player to produce 40+ completed passes in the competition.
