Swansea v Preston prediction: Back Swans to extend a 58-year sequence

Three games, two wins and no defeats.

Can Swansea build on that momentum with Preston's visit to South Wales?

Bookies thepools.com make them favourites to do just that.

But if you're planning a punt, make sure you read the best betting preview out there by the man who knows Swansea inside out, Ian Mitchelmore .

Win, lose or draw?



Swansea are unbeaten in 12 at home in the league and haven't lost at home to Preston since 1961. Home win. 1-0. The home win is an excellent 6/5 shout with thepools.com, while the 1-0 correct score is 13/2 .
 


Who’s a good bet for first scorer?



Borja Baston netted on the opening day and is likely to start against the Lilywhites so I'll go with the Spaniard to get the opening goal. 
 

Who’s on the naughty step?


I expect it to be quite a battle in the middle of the park, so I'll go with Jay Fulton to pick up a booking.
 

Who’s on pens?


Matt Grimes is your man for penalties.
 


Will Swansea keep a clean sheet?



Swansea kept Derby at bay last time out and - despite Preston's impressive goal return in their last two matches - I fancy Swansea to keep another clean sheet. Both Teams To Score 'No' is Evens with thepools.com.
