Our prediction for this Championship match:
Preston
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Swansea
Deepdale will host Saturday’s football game between Preston and Swansea, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Lilywhites proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday and a triumph over Swansea should see them stay in the playoffs berth. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach Ryan Lowe is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Owls at the weekend.
The Swans, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Championship, but seeing that Preston are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both Liam Walsh and Steven Benda are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Lancashire.
