Swansea City form and stats

8 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Swansea City has to build on here at Liberty Stadium. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Swansea City with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bolton Wanderers game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

In their previous game, the manager G. Potter led his Swansea City to a defeat in the Championship match away at Nottingham Forest. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Liberty Stadium. Ahead of that match, Swansea City lost 2-3 at home to Manchester City.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swansea City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Swansea City as a small favourite), we find four games. Swansea City has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1. There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Swansea City, as the Championship home game vs Middlesbrough is only three days away.
