Preston Double Chance
Swansea have been climbing the Championship table of late thanks to a string of positive results, the Swans have enjoyed a favourable run of fixtures against teams from the division’s lower reaches and a meeting with playoff chasers Preston poses a sterner test. North End have avoided defeat in ten of their last 12 matches in the second tier, and their superior quality could get them over the line again in Wales. With their tough exterior a factor, our first Swansea vs Preston prediction advises a stake on the visitors in the double chance market.
Both Teams to Score
For the second of our football betting tips today, we’re dipping into the always-popular goals markets where both teams to score is available to back at a generous price. Swansea have notched at least once in 80% of their last ten Championship fixtures, which suggests they have sufficient firepower to net this week, while Preston have failed to score only twice in their last seven games, indicating that North End have enough punch to hit back. Expect action at both ends in this one.
