Insights:
  • Wycombe Wanderers have the most conceded goals (64) in Championship

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Championship match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Sheffield Wednesday, so at least Swansea are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Swansea are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Wanderers are struggling to avoid relegation.

Swansea City form and stats

Swansea City have collected 38 points from their Championship home games so far after 11-5-4. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Swansea, their manager S. Cooper and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Freddie Woodman not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

A strong away win for Swansea City against Sheffield Wednesday the last match, as Jay Fulton and Jamal Lowe were on target. A strong away win before that one, visiting Millwall and winning 3-0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Swansea City, as the Championship home game vs Queens Park Rangers is only three days away.

Swansea has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 20 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Swansea City have conceded only 12 goals.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

There's been little loot from Wycombe Wanderers's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 20 away games in the Championship. Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Championship, only have 3 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 4 draws.

The manager G. Ainsworth was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Adams Park. Wycombe Wanderers suffered a 1-3 loss to Luton Town (placed 13th). Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Rotherham United.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wanderers are hosting Bristol City in the Championship only four days away.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 20 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wanderers's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 37 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Wycombe Wanderers - Swansea 0-2. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Swansea, zero draws and one win for Wycombe Wanderers. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.
