They are scoring 0.82 goals a game, which ranks 22nd of 24 in the Championship against a divisional average of 1.44.
At the other end they concede 2.18 a game — 24th best in the division, where the average side ships 1.44.
The split between home and away is pronounced — 0.60 points per game at home against 0.17 on the road — and the engine weights that gap in every fixture it prices.
Overall that is 4 points from 11 matches, 24th in the table and a 4th percentile profile against the rest of the division.
Preston have an unusually even profile: home form is their strongest axis at 10 and away form their lowest at 2, a spread narrow enough that the engine has no single department to lean on when it prices them. The result is a projected margin that tracks the goal difference rather than the reputation.

Every prediction on this club was published before kick-off and graded against the final score afterwards. Nothing has been removed, including the misses — the strip above shows them alongside the hits. We are not publishing a hit-rate percentage for Preston yet: 21 graded picks is too small a sample for one to mean anything, and a precise-looking figure off a sample this size would be misleading rather than transparent. The site-wide accuracy record, which pools every league, is the number worth reading until this one catches up.
Preston are covered by the 8th Day Engine, which publishes a projected scoreline and a win probability for every Championship fixture before kick-off.
They currently sit 24th in the Championship on 4 points from 11 matches, with 9 scored and 24 conceded for a goal difference of -15.
The engine grades them E overall — a 4th percentile side across attack, defence, consistency, momentum and both home and away form, measured against every other club in the division rather than against reputation.
We hold 21 graded predictions on Preston so far, 9 of which called the right result. That is too small a sample to quote a hit rate from, so we do not quote one; every pick is listed above, misses included.
Predictions on this page are modelled estimates published for transparency, not betting advice.
Ratings on this page are percentiles against the other clubs in the Championship, recomputed from the current league table every time it refreshes. Records, goals and home/away splits are the complete league figures; anything labelled “graded” covers only the matches we published a prediction on.
