Brentford Preview – Bees to make it back-to-back wins?
Having taken just one point from their previous two, losing at Stoke City and drawing with Norwich City, the Bees picked up a much-needed win last time out. Thomas Frank’s men were excellent at Kenilworth Road, cruising to a 3-0 win over Luton Town thanks to goals from Rico Henry, Ivan Toney and Marcus Forss.
Brentford, last season’s losing play-off finalists, have been in patchy form at the start of this season. Overall, the Bees have won four, drawn two and lost three, scoring 16 and shipping 11 in the process. Having won only one of their opening four, Frank’s boys have since secured three victories in their last five in the Championship.
Tuesday’s fixture is a big one for Brentford as they look for momentum in the Championship. They have been solid in their new home so far, winning four of their opening six league and cup matches and losing just once. Will the Bees fly to three points on their own patch this Tuesday?
Swansea City Preview – Can the high-flying Swans leave London with a positive result?
Swansea City made a superb start last season, eventually finishing in sixth and taking the final play-off place. The Swans have made another stunning start to a Championship campaign, sitting second on 18 points ahead of this round of fixtures. This time, Steve Cooper’s boys will be hoping to end their season with promotion to the Premier League.
The Swans have looked outstanding at times this term, racking up an impressive five wins from their opening nine. Only league leaders Reading have won more and taken more points up until now. City have conceded just five goals, scoring 12 at the other end.
