Our prediction for this Championship match:
Swansea City
Match Time & Date:

10:00 AM
Prediction: 0-2
Preston North End
Despite the fact that the Swansea City sold several first-team regulars in the summer transfer window, the Swans kicked off the new Championship campaign in great manner, with the team beating Sheffield United on the road. The Welsh outfit are determined to return to the English top flight, but given the quality of their squad, that is easier said than done. Preston, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, with Alan Browne scoring the winner for the Lilywhites. Preston aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration and seeing that the Swans kicked off the new season with a severely-weakened squad, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. When the two teams last met in the Championship (2011) Preston recorded a 2-1 win over Swansea City at their Deepdale Stadium.

Highlighted Player (Martin Olsson):
Martin Olsson is an experienced Swedish defender who has spent his entire professional career up to date in England. The left-sided defender came through the Hogaborgs BK academy, but he went on to join Blackburn Rovers before turning 18. Olsson quickly managed to nail down a regular starting berth at Ewood Park, and he made a total of 117 league appearances ahead of signing for Norwich City in the summer of 2013.
The Swedish left-back couldn’t help the Canaries avoid relegation to the Championship, but he featured in 45 league games as they secured a straight return to the elite division. Olsson was at times linked with top European clubs, but a big club move never materialised for him, although there is still time for him to make the next step.
Also capable of playing on the left wing, Olsson scored 5 goals in just over 30 outings for the Sweden national team, making three appearances at the Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland.
Highlighted Team (Preston North End):
Preston North End or Preston were founded in 1880. The Lilywhites or the Invincibles play their home games at Deepdale, the stadium that was built in 1875 and opened three years later.
In 1889 Preston won their first FA Cup trophy and they did well to beat Huddersfield Town in the final of the 1938 FA Cup final. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1889 and 1890 when they won back-to-back domestic trophies (First Division).
Preston have yet to win the League Cup title, but they were runners-up in 1888, 1922, 1937, 1954, 1964. Preston’s main rivals are Blackpool and the two teams square off against each other in the West Lancashire derby. In their first ever meeting in the West Lancashire derby (1901) Preston recorded a 4-1 win over Blackpool.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are considered Preston’s big rivals as well. The colour of Preston’s shirts is white and they wear dark blue shorts.
