Swansea vs Preston Prediction

Swansea Form

Swansea lost twice in their last three matches, as they were defeated 0-1 by Millwall and 1-0 against Middlesbrough. They turned the table by winning 3-1 against Gillingham. Swansea won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Championship, where they also lost twice but drew none. They scored nine goals and conceded three times.

At the end of the previous season, Swansea was in a secure position in the middle of the standings. They should be able to maintain at least a similar performance when this season kicks off.

Preston Form

Preston collected one win from their last three matches, as West Bromwich won by 3-0. Sheffield United were too strong as well, winning 0-2, before Preston won 2-0 against Sunderland. Preston managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Championship. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring eight time and letting in one.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Swansea hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

At least one side usually pull off a clean sheet, when Swansea take on Preston, which suggests the value bet lies with both teams not finding the back of the net.
