Swansea City U23 form and stats
No Professional Development League points yet away for Swansea City U23, from their first 2 matches. Swansea seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Swansea's previous game was their home loss versus Birmingham U23 (0-3). Prior to that match, the Swansea City U23 manager J. Grey faced defeat when travelling to Hull City U23 and losing 0-4.
Swansea City U23 lost heavily in their last match (against Birmingham U23 as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
