Within the 23rd round of the English Championship, a match between Swansea and Preston will take place in Wales on Friday, December 22nd. The game is scheduled to start at 8:45 PM Central European Time.
Swansea
The Welsh team hasn't been pleasing their fans in the current Championship campaign. After 22 rounds, the team is not far from the relegation zone, occupying the 18th position in the league table. Swansea is just five points ahead of Queens Park Rangers, positioned 22nd. Swansea hasn't shone in the new season and is likely to battle for a place in the Championship next season. However, the team has scored quite a few goals. They've already netted 30 goals, which is an average record among all league teams.
Preston
The team surprised many with a decent start but then fell into a turbulent phase and has struggled to stabilize results since then. Following a few successful matches, they faced more defeats, hindering their focus on promotion to the Premier League, where Preston hasn't played for over 50 years. At the moment, the club holds the eighth position in the Championship table. It's worth noting their poor defensive performance as they've conceded 38 goals, ranking poorly in this aspect among all division teams.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- Swansea hasn't won a match at their home ground in six consecutive games.
- In the last two matches involving Preston, a total of 10 goals were scored.
- In the previous five head-to-head meetings between these teams, only the home team emerged victorious.
Prediction
Both teams have been scoring and conceding enough goals this season to suggest that something similar might happen in this encounter. My bet is over 2 goals in total.
