Preston North End, Recent FormLast time out, Preston North End went away feeling content with a 1-0 away win against Sheffield Wednesday In that game they had 47% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Sheffield Wednesday who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Deepdale, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Preston North End, Ched Evans will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Swansea City, Recent FormSwansea City will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Coventry City with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. In that game they recorded 40 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Swansea will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Joël Piroe will be looking to cause Preston North End some problems having scored 3 goals in Swansea City's last 6 away games in the league.
Preston North End suffered the disappointment of a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Swansea City the last time they met in the league.
Playing away from home, Swansea have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Preston.
Swansea has a poor track record in the league when they visit Preston, losing in their last 2 games.
Preston manager Ryan Lowe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ched Evans (Spinal cord), Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) and Ben Whiteman (Hernia) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Steven Benda (Cruciate ligament) and Liam Walsh (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Duff will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
