Two teams that are aiming for a promotion playoff position finish clash in round 19 of the English Championship, as Swansea goes on the road to face Preston. The away team is currently in the sixth place and their rivals are only three away from them, so we can expect a thrilling game. Our suggestion is to bet for an away win or draw.

Very few would have thought after winning only one of their first seven league games that Swansea would be now a contender for promotion playoffs, as they currently sit sixth in the standings. But the team really showed its best since then, and from the next ten games they only lost two (seven wins and a draw) and are now in a much better position.

In their last game they really had to put on a fight against Bristol City in order to draw the match in the final part of the game, but they now arrive unbeaten in their last three games and having lost only one of their last five away games (two wins and two draws). A good result here can also mean a good way to put distance with a direct competitor, as their rivals are only three points away.

Preston, on the other hand, has also been struggling with irregularity and, most of all, with inefficiency to score, as they have only 13 goals on their favour after 18 games (they did not score in seven of them). Recent matches have not served well also, as they have lost three of the last five, so they will have to improve a lot if they want to approach the promotion spots.

两支旨在晋级季后赛的球队在英格兰冠军联赛的第19轮中相遇，斯旺西将客场挑战普雷斯顿。客队目前排名第六，他们的对手距离他们只有三名，所以我们可以期待一场激动人心的比赛。我们的建议是打赌客场输赢或平局。

很少有人会想到，斯旺西在前7场联赛中只赢了一场之后，现在会成为晋级季后赛的有力竞争者，因为他们目前排名第六。但从那以后，球队真正展现了自己的最佳状态，在接下来的10场比赛中，他们只输了2场(7胜1平)，现在的情况好多了。

在他们的上一场比赛中，他们真的必须与布里斯托尔城进行一场战斗，以便在比赛的最后部分打平比赛，但他们现在在最近的三场比赛中保持不败，并且在最近的五场客场比赛中只输了一场(2胜2平)。在这方面的好成绩也意味着与直接竞争对手拉开距离的好方法，因为他们的对手距离他们只有3分。

另一方面，普雷斯顿也一直在为不稳定的局面而挣扎，最重要的是进球效率低下，因为他们在18场比赛中只有13个进球(其中7场没有进球)。最近的比赛也不太好，因为他们在最近的五场比赛中输了三场，所以如果他们想要晋级，他们必须要提高很多。
