Swansea City Preview – Will the Swans’ unbeaten run continue?
Swansea City have had an indifferent season in the Championship. Their plans were ripped up just before it started back in August when Steve Cooper left the club unexpectedly. Russell Martin arrived and took time to settle in at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Since falling to back-to-back defeats to Fulham and Blackpool in March, Swansea have gone eight games unbeaten (four wins, four draws). After three successive wins, the Welsh side have drawn three on the spin.
Despite their lowly league position, Swansea have not been an easy nut to crack on home soil, with just Fulham and Luton Town leaving with all three points in 2022. Can they upset the promotion chasing Cherries on Tuesday night?
Bournemouth Preview – Cherries to move closer to the Premier League?
Bournemouth have one giant foot in the 2022-23 Premier League. However, Scott Parker’s men still have a little bit of work to do. They are two points above third-place Huddersfield Town with two games in hand, and five ahead of Nottingham Forest, who have played the same number of matches.
Fulham have been the standout side in this season’s Championship, but Bournemouth have certainly been the best of the rest up until now. Parker has had a superb first year at the Vitality Stadium, guiding the Dorset outfit to 22 wins from 42 fixtures.
