Swansea take on the visitors Preston in the round 43 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 19th at Swansea.com Stadium (Swansea).
It is not worth taking Swansea's recent results too seriously. Yes, the team hasn't conceded in three games and has won four out of five, but they are a typical mid-table Championship team that has cleverly used its chances and the calendar to beat outsiders and teams of similar level. The Swans are not fighting for a top-six place, and it is their recent victories that have allowed them to hope for something. They play poorly against the hosts' leaders during the season. And of course, in such a match against a motivated opponent, they may lose points.

It is very strange to see the away team as an underdog among bookmakers. At the end of the season, the Lowe's team had simply magnificent form, having lost only two matches out of twelve. But it seems that they lost the most important ones in the fight for a place in the playoffs. Both Millwall and Middlesbrough beat them, and their chances of fighting for the sixth position are decreasing. And much now does not depend on the visitors. In any case, they need to gain points in the match against the Swans and, of course, in the round with Blackburn. And this is despite the fact that Preston has a sufficient number of injured players.
Preston is an outsider, fighting for the playoffs and has already accustomed its fans to victories. In terms of points gained away, the Lowe's team is in fourth place, having lost no more than 2/3 of the matches. At the same time, bookmakers offer a very high coefficient for them not to lose. A draw result does not suit both teams, but can the Swans be considered the favorites of the match? In terms of goals conceded, Swansea is almost at the top. How can the Invincibles justify their own nickname and gain three full points here?
Prediction for the match: Preston to win with 0.0 handicap.
