Swansea City form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Swansea City at their home stadium (Swansea.com Stadium) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Swansea City are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 219 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Manning).

The supporters are hoping that Swansea City will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Hull City (placed 18th). Ntcham (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.61/10. Ntcham hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 33 successful passes (of 37 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Queens Park Rangers that finished 0-0.

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 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 four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Blackburn Rovers are visiting.

Swansea City has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches.
