Hull City return to the MKM aiming to get back to winning ways after being stunned by Watford late-on in a 2-1 defeat on Saturday.
The Tigers romped to a 3-1 win over Southampton in their most recent home game and though they are the fifth-leading scorers in the division with 11, nobody has conceded more than the 14 they have shipped.
Preston are the visitors on Tuesday night (19:45 BST) and head east on a three-match unbeaten run after a goalless draw at home to Bristol City on Saturday.
The Lilywhites have lost only one of their seven Championship matches to lie in sixth, though their sole defeat did come on the road at Portsmouth, and while they have only scored seven times in as many games, they have the best defence in the second tier with just five conceded.
Hull have only lost one of their past six league meetings with Preston (W2 D3), and could win back-to-back league games against the Lilywhites for the first time since November 2019.
Preston have only enjoyed two wins in their past 12 league visits to Hull (D3 L7), a 2-1 triumph in September 2017 and a 1-0 win in February 2022.
Hull have alternated between winning (3) and losing (2) their last five home league games, beating Southampton 3-1 last time out. The Yorkshire side have managed just one clean sheet in their past 24 at home in the Championship (2-0 v Plymouth in March).
After their 1-0 win at Derby, Preston are looking for back-to-back away league victories for the first time since March 2024 (3 in a row).
Hull’s Oli McBurnie has five goal involvements (2 goals, 3 assists) in three home league games this season, both scoring and assisting in two of them.
