Preston North End

LLDWDL

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

In that match, Preston North End had 55% possession and 3 shots at goal with 2 on target. Blackburn Rovers got 13 shots at goal with 3 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.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their most recent head to head meetings going back to 19/04/2023 tells us that Swansea City have won 3 of them & Preston North End 2, with the tally of drawn results being 1.

A total of 18 goals were produced between them in these games, with 11 of them from The Swans and 7 being from The Lilywhites. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.

The last league match between these sides was Championship match day 14 on 05/11/2025 when it ended Preston North End 2-1 Swansea City.

That time, Preston North End had 33% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorers were Thierry Small (8') and Milutin Osmajić (49').

ℹ️ Team News: Swansea City

In our view, The Swans will probably use the 4-1-4-1 formation this time and select 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 full-strength group, there’s just a single fitness issue for the Preston North End gaffer Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned with. Robbie Brady (Calf injury) misses out for this game.

We believe The Lilywhites seem most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to 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.
