Wrexham halted a winless run of five games in the Championship on Boxing Day when the Welsh club registered a morale-boosting 5-3 home win against a rejuvenated Sheffield United outfit at the Racecourse Ground and the manner in which the hosts won will have pleased manager Phil Parkinson.
Wrexham found themselves 3-2 down in what was a highly entertaining but volatile first half but The Dragons were relentless in the second half and their desire and passion for a result saw the hosts come out on top by a 5-3 margin!
The hosts had previously drawn three but lost twice in their preceding five games but Wrexham will now fancy their chances of turning over play-off hopefuls Preston NE on Monday night, especially as they hold a steady looking home record of 5-5-2 22/18.
Preston NE have become something of the ‘draw specialists’ in recent times in the Championship as The Lilywhites have drawn five out of their last seven league matches as well as picking up two wins in the process.
A stubborn seven-game unbeaten sequence should stand the visitors in good stead though as they prepare for this upcoming encounter at the Racecourse Ground which includes picking up recent victories on their travels at Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United.
However, a trip to face a much more stable looking Wrexham in their own backyard may present Preston NE with a few problems, while Paul Heckingbottom’s side possess an away record of 4-5-2 14/11 so far this season.
The Betting Verdict
Wrexham recorded a 3-2 win away from home at Preston NE in the EFL Cup back in August and the upcoming hosts may just get the nod here on Monday night as well.
The Pick :
Wrexham 2-1 Preston NE
