Only three points separate Swansea and Preston North End as both teams look to stay alive in the Championship playoff race when they meet on matchday 34 on Tuesday. This match in Plasmarl between the 15th-placed Swans and the 10th-placed Lilywhites comes with our prediction of a home win.
Swansea’s 45 points (W13, D6, L14) ahead of this round put them six points outside the playoff places. Preston’s 48 points (W12, D12, L9) put them three points above their hosts and three points outside the playoff spots.
The Swans edged Bristol City 1-0 at home last weekend to make it three wins from their last four league games. Swansea’s uprise in form has improved their playoff chances as they begin edging towards the top six.
Giving them an extra edge in that fight is their home form, as Swansea have seven wins from their last eight home league games, while drawing the other.
Preston were narrowly edged 1-0 away at Blackburn last matchday to end a mini-unbeaten run of three games (W1, D2). Having lost their four previous competitive games in a row, the Lilywhites hope they avoid getting into bad habits.
Preston’s downturn coincided with their poor form on the road, where they have lost three of their last five away league games (W1, D1), two of those without scoring.

Our Swansea vs Preston North End Prediction
Preston edged Swansea 2-1 back in November in the reverse fixture, which now seems a long way ago, as the Swans have improved considerably. They have lost only five league games since the start of December and are even more formidable at home. Preston’s recent form is a concern, although they avoided defeat in three of their last four league matches. Their away form has been all over the place too, which plays into the home team’s hands.
Preston have struggled at this venue lately, and our Swansea vs Preston North End prediction is Swansea wins.
