Current streaks

Recent form

Preston

Preston North End's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent results in their last six matches. The Lilywhites have managed just one win in this period, coupled with three draws and two losses. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly poor, netting only four times in six games, averaging a meagre 0.67 goals per match. However, Preston's defence has shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game. The team's matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. Preston's current 15th position in the Championship table reflects their mixed form, and they'll be keen to improve their attacking output to climb the standings. Notably, there have been no particularly high-scoring games or extended runs of wins or losses in this period.

Swansea

Swansea's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins and four losses. The Swans have experienced a particularly challenging period, suffering three consecutive defeats before their most recent victory against Blackburn Rovers. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 11 goals in six matches, with a notably heavy 5-1 loss to Norwich. However, they have shown resilience by keeping two clean sheets during this period. Swansea's goal-scoring has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, while their matches have generally been high-scoring affairs, with an average of 2.83 total goals per game. Despite their current 16th position in the Championship, the team's ability to bounce back with a convincing 3-0 win in their latest fixture suggests they may be finding their footing as the season progresses.

Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston North End have shown resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Deepdale. The Lilywhites have displayed a penchant for tight contests, with four of these games ending in draws, including three consecutive stalemates in their most recent fixtures. Their defensive prowess is evident, having conceded only four goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. However, Preston's attacking output has been modest, scoring just six goals across these six matches, with no game featuring more than three goals in total. The team have managed to find the net in four out of the six games, demonstrating their ability to consistently trouble opposing defences, albeit without prolific scoring. This run of form suggests Preston are proving tough to beat at home, but may need to convert more of their draws into wins to climb from their current 15th position in the Championship table.

Swansea

Swansea's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Swans enduring a challenging run of four consecutive defeats before their narrow 1-0 victory against Bristol City. The Welsh side have struggled defensively, conceding a whopping 18 goals in their last six away matches, with an alarming average of 3 goals conceded per game. Notably, Swansea have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, including a 5-1 thrashing at Norwich and a 4-0 drubbing at Portsmouth. Their inability to keep clean sheets, managing just one in this period, has contributed to 83% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals. The Swans' attacking prowess has also been lacking, scoring only 3 goals in these 6 matches, further highlighting their difficulties on the road.
