Preston North End the shape of the team and its analysis: nothing has been going well in recent weeks
“The Lilywhites” again remained in the middle of the Championship. Theoretically, it was still possible to try to catch on in 6th position, but there was a decline or there was no motivation after a good period in the second half of March and early April, with 10 points in 5 rounds. In any case, the club lost 3 times in a row, not only to motivated Norwich and Southampton, but also to QPR.
Leicester City the shape of the team and its analysis: the club improved its performance on time
“The Foxes”, having been relegated from a stronger division, were the main favourites of this cycle. Still, the confident leadership was called into question: 10 points were taken in 10 rounds starting from mid-March (and it is reasonable to mention 6 defeats). One way or another, the team managed to win successively against West Bromwich (2-1) and Southampton (5-0), increasing the lead over a pair of key pursuers to 4-5 points, at the finish line.
