Swansea City Preview – Can Swans get back on track?
Swansea City will be desperate to resurrect their Championship season on Easter Monday when they play host to Presto NE after suffering three defeats on the trot in recent times which has dented The Swans’ promotion hopes.
Losses to Bournemouth, Cardiff City and Birmingham City have resulted in Swansea dropping down to 4th place and more importantly, the Welsh club now find themselves nine points adrift of Watford and the two automatic promotion spots prior to Monday’s games.
It’s therefore looking increasingly likely that Swansea will now need to take their chances in the play-offs but the hosts have a good opportunity to get back to winning ways against Preston here as Swansea still possess a solid record of 11-5-3 23/11 at the Liberty Stadium which includes 11 clean sheets.
Preston NE Preview – Can Preston halt slide?
If Swansea City are struggling right now then Preston NE are a team in free-fall mode as the visitors have now dropped down to 17th place in the Championship after failing to win any of their last six matches overall, losing four of these.
Recent defeats against Millwall, Wycombe Wanderers, Middlesbrough and Luton Town now have Preston nervously looking over their shoulders and although they hold a 10-point cushion above third from bottom Rotherham United, they’ll be sweating on Rotherham’s results as Preston have managed to win just once in their last 10 matches.
That solitary win came in the shape of a 3-0 home win over Huddersfield Town but the visitors have lost their last four away matches on the trot, conceding 9 goals and scoring just 1 in reply.
