Swansea City vs Preston North End top free betting tips
Preston North End make the journey to South Wales looking to bounce back from a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Watford in their previous match. Preston has won just one of their previous six matches, losing four, which is very similar to Swansea's form. The Swans have won just one of their previous eight matches, including a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough last time out. Can either side try and gain some momentum as English football enters the busy Christmas period?
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Both teams to score is surely a given in this match. Swansea City has scored in all of their previous seven matches and has failed to keep a clean sheet in all of those seven matches also. The away side Preston has scored four and conceded six in their previous two matches which shows that the club are more than capable of scoring a goal but is also very leaky in defence.
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
Both clubs tend to be involved in plenty of goals but this match is such a hard one to predict, Preston has seen two of their previous four matches end with 2.5 goals or less scored with the other two seeing a total of ten goals while Swansea has seen plenty of goals scored with just two of their previous seven matches ending with 2.5 or less. Both teams know they are in bad form and need to start picking up the points, especially with a lot on offer over the coming week or so. Four of the previous seven head-to-head meetings have seen a scoreline of 1-0.
Correct score prediction: 1-1 Draw
Both teams have not won many games as of late with Swansea winning just two of their previous eleven matches while Preston has won three of their previous fifteen matches which is why we can see a draw happening. With the games these teams will play over the next couple of weeks, both sides will be happy to earn a single point to start their busy periods.

Some Preston fans are calling for Ryan Lowe to be removed as manager
Easy solution here, one letter, two numbers. P45! There are some fantastic coaches out there, the Riddler has backed him, this is HIS team and they have not got a scooby tactically. Enough, please!
