Swansea
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Preston
Swansea.com Stadium will host Friday’s football game between Swansea City and Preston, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Swans are only five points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that this match is of big importance for the home side. All Harrison Ashby, Mykola Kukharevych, Josh Ginnelly, Nathanael Ogbeta, Joe Allen, Azeem Abdulai, and Steven Benda are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heavy 5-1 loss to Watford. Preston want to move closer to the playoffs berth, but given their poor defensive display in the last league match, we are tempted to put our money on the South Wales outfit this time out. Forward Emil Riis Jakobsen remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
