Preston North End set for relegation – Part 2

After last Saturday’s home defeat against almost relegated Plymouth the odds are lengthening on PNE relegation to League 1.

So where are we now?

All teams below have played 45 games and have one to go:

Stoke  50pts  Goal Difference -17   Last Game Derby v Stoke

Derby   49pts   Goal Difference -8  Last Game  Derby v Stoke
PNE    49pts   GD -11    Bristol City v PNE
Luton  49pts  GD -22   WBA v Luton

Hull    48pts    GD -10    Hull v Portsmouth
Plymouth  46pts    GD -36  Plymouth v Leeds
Cardiff   43pts   GD -22   Norwich v Cardiff

If PNE get 0 points:
Hull and Luton need to get 1 point to overtake PNE.

If PNE get 1 point:
Cardiff, Plymouth down.  Luton and Hull will need to win to overtake PNE.

If PNE get 3 points:  theyll stay up.

On current form Bristol will beat PNE.  Hull should get a point, Luton could be struggling to get a point but end of season effect may make WBA weaker.

It’s a tight call, Luton have won their last 3 and PNE have lost their last 4.  Does that favour Luton.  PNE have a variable record against Bristol City who are fighting to stay in the play-offs and play at promoted fighting for the top slot Leeds United today.
