Prediction published on 20/12/2023, 14:45  by Sridhar | Modified on 20/12/2023 at 15:12 in Championship Predictions

Preston North End travel to Swansea with an aim of staying close to the Championship top-six teams. This matchday 23 will be played at the Swasea.com Stadium on Friday. The hosts are 18th ahead of this round with 25 points while the visitors are 8th with 32 points. Swansea are only five points above the bottom-three and will stay in the safety zone after this round irrespective of the result. Yet, they would want a win here to address their recent indifferent streak. Swansea have won just one of their last eight league games, drawing four and losing three. They have been impressive in at least finding the net, as seven of these games have returned goals from both teams.

Preston are four points behind top-six spots and would be keen to keep that gap attainable. A win here would help them do that, but more importantly, three points here will arrest their recent sliding fortunes. Preston have lost four of their last six league games, with only a 3-1 win at Huddersfield being their only success. It has been that kind of a season for the visitors, who have already conceded 38 goals which is only behind Rotherham and Norwich. While that raises hopes of the home fans of seeing an entertaining match, Preston would be looking to improve their away fortunes. They have won just two of their last eight away league games although both those wins have come in the last four trips, drawing and losing once each.
