Swansea City, Recent FormThe Swansea City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Middlesbrough, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Middlesbrough who had 9 attempts and 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
A home win for Swansea City is just a distant memory, having not won at Swansea.com Stadium in 6 games.
Preston North End, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 5-1 home defeat by Watford, Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target. Watford had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Lowe will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 19 of their 22 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Preston North End, Ben Whiteman will be looking to add more goals against Swansea City in this match.
It was one to forget for Swansea City last time they met Preston North End in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
In their previous 3 encounters with The Lilywhites, Swansea have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Preston has a poor track record in the league when they visit Swansea, losing in their last 2 games.
Swansea manager Alan Sheehan has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Azeem Abdulai (Hamstring), Joe Allen (Leg), Harrison Ashby (Hamstring), Josh Ginnelly (Muscle), Mykola Kukharevych (Knee), Nathanael Ogbeta (Leg) and Nathan Wood (Sprained ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Milutin Osmajić (Groin) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
