The opponents Preston have fought their way to seven points which leaves them sitting 6th in the Championship table.

Preston are aiming to extend the lead on Swansea in the standings as they go toe-to-toe on Saturday. On the other hand, the hosts should be motivated to not let the current gap get any bigger.

Preston only average a modest 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 12 goals. They also conceded 17 for an average of 1.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Swansea head into this match on 1.8 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored an acceptable total of 18, while also conceding ten goals. This amounts to one on average per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 4-2 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest this coming Saturday?

Preston vs Swansea Prediction

Preston Form

Their last three matches saw Preston drawing 2-2 with Salford City, before taking out Sunderland by 2-1, and Sheffield Wednesday by 0-1. In their last six Championship home matches, Preston won four times. They've drawn once and lost once, while scoring ten and conceding seven goals.

Preston’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Championship.

Swansea Form

Swansea added four points to their account in their previous three matches, starting off beating Northampton 3-0. A 3-2 defeat against West Bromwich followed, before sharing the points with Coventry in a 1-1 draw. Swansea managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Championship away matches, in which they scored 12 while also conceding eight times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

A mid-table finish looks like the optimal outcome for Preston in a season where they aim to keep the relegation line at bay in the Championship.

You don't look for Preston or Swansea, to provide with a lot of entertainment currently, as both are playing mostly tight matches with few goals. The value-bet lies with under 2.5 goals this coming Saturday.
