Swansea City form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Liberty Stadium as Swansea City, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Championship, have scored 15 goals to get 25 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 7-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Swansea last time playing, versus Nottingham Forest. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Oliver Cooper, Matt Grimes (2) and Liam Cullen (2) scoring for the victors. Before that match, a Championship win away at Barnsley.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Swansea played a great game against Nottingham Forest and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Swansea City are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Rotherham United awaits in three days.

The Swansea City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Swansea have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.

Brentford form and stats

6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Brentford, who have the the best goal difference (+8) away in Championship, playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Things are running smoothly for Brentford who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 16 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Stoke City. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Stoke City game have they lost an away game, meaning Brentford has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

The manager T. Frank was unhappy after their last game, a FA Cup match played at their home ground Brendan Foot Supersite Hutt Recreation Ground (Lower Hutt). Brentford suffered a 1-3 loss to Leicester City. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Luton Town in the Championship.

After this away game Brentford return home for a Championship game against Wycombe Wanderers. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Brentford are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 11 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Brentford as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
