The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Swansea City so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-9 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Swansea City's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Swansea City lost away at Sheffield United (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Manning, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.01. Manning won 7 of 9 duels.

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Bristol City.

We have checked recent matches where Swansea have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were zero victories, three draws and seven defeats.
