Preston North End have recently focused on set-piece tactics, incorporating various set-piece routines to enhance their scoring efficiency. In terms of field play, they are prioritising set-piece battles and second attacks in the attacking zone. The midfield is concentrating on improving the quality of crosses from the flanks, while the defence is focusing on combining aerial defence with ground interceptions. Central players are adapting to their new core roles in set-pieces, with improved targeted runs, however, other players still need to adapt to the new set-piece routines. The tactical adjustments are primarily focused on set-pieces, and the overall offensive system's adaptability is average. Sheffield Wednesday have recently adjusted their tactics towards strengthening their flank defence. They have adjusted the defensive positioning of their wing-backs to increase their blocking of crosses from the opposing flanks. In terms of field play, they are focusing on the defensive connection between the midfield and the flanks, cutting off the opponent's flank passes through midfield interceptions, and relying on rapid flank advances during counterattacks in the attacking zone. Wing-backs are adapting to their new defensive roles, with improved aggressiveness and accuracy in defensive coverage, but the offensive role of assisting in attacks has been weakened, and the players' adaptability remains to be seen. The tactical adjustments are generally geared towards optimising defence.
