Preston North End

LLDWDL

Since a loss in their previous game against Blackburn Rovers in Championship action, Preston North End and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Preston North End managed 55% possession and 3 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Blackburn Rovers got 13 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Yūki Ōhashi (90') scored for Blackburn Rovers.

It has become apparent that Preston North End have made hard work of scoring goals over their last six clashes, recording the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, The Lilywhites have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 11.

Leading up to this clash, Preston North End:

• have left without a victory over Swansea City in games played away from home for the previous 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league games.

📰 Team News: Swansea City

In our view, The Swans could kick off with a 4-1-4-1 formation for the game, utilising Lawrence Vigouroux, Ethan Galbraith, Ben Cabango, Cameron Burgess, Josh Tymon, Jay Fulton, Ji-sung Eom, Gonçalo Franco, Liam Cullen, Melker Widell and Zan Vipotnik.

📋 Team News: Preston North End

Due to a mostly healthy group, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned with. Robbie Brady (Calf injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that The Lilywhites will likely elect for a 4-4-2 lineup using David Cornell, Andrew Hughes, Jordan Storey, Lewis Gibson, Pol Valentin, Thierry Small, Alistair McCann, Ben Whiteman, Alfie Devine, Lewis Dobbin and Milutin Osmajic.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Preston North End have the firepower to find the net against this Swansea City outfit, although that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Swansea City at the end of this one. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
