Swansea City vs Preston North End: match statistics
Swansea City presents solid home form with a 53% win rate and a positive goal difference (+7) at their own stadium. The hosts have won 3 of their last 5 fixtures, scoring 8 goals, which evidences good offensive disposition. Preston North End struggles in away matches, where only 31% end in victory, and they have conceded 8 goals while scoring just 4 in their last 5 games. xG statistics show an advantage for Swansea (1.43 vs 1.17), as well as better retention of possession (56% vs 45%). Given the hosts' advantage in key parameters and the visitors' weaker away form, Swansea has a real chance of securing a victory, although Preston's experience in draws (38% away) prevents ruling out a split of points.
