Swansea City form and stats

7-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Swansea City so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Swansea.com Stadium.

Happy days for Swansea in their previous game, a fixture away at West Bromwich Albion (placed 13th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Defender Manning got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.04/10. Manning hit two key passes and won 7 of 11 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Sheffield United.

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 ten games. Swansea City has won seven of these, drawn two and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Swansea City as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Fulham are visiting.

The Swansea fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. Swansea City have only conceded 14 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
