Swansea City vs Preston North End Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2023

Swansea City and Preston North End go head-to-head at the Swansea.com Stadium in round 23 of the EFL Championship on Friday.

Alan Sheehan’s men have failed to win their last six home matches and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

Swansea City continue to struggle for results on home turf as they fell to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Middlesbrough last Saturday.

Sheehan’s side have now failed to win seven of their last eight league games — losing three and claiming four draws — with a 2-1 victory at Rotherham United on December 9 being the exception.

With 25 points from 22 matches, Swansea City are currently 18th in the Championship, just five points above the relegation zone.

Elsewhere, Preston North End were sent crashing back to earth last time out when they suffered a 5-1 hammering against Watford at the Deepdale Stadium.

This followed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on December 12 which saw their four-match winless run come to an end.

With 32 points from 22 matches, Ryan Lowe’s men are currently 18th in the Championship table, four points off the playoffs places.
