Preston North End

LLDWDL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to 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 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Blackburn Rovers got 13 attempts on 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.

📋 Team News: Swansea City

We think that The Swans look set to employ a 4-1-4-1 formation for the game with 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

In an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned about. Robbie Brady (Calf injury) won’t be in action.

We believe The Lilywhites could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation, choosing 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.
