Swansea City Preview – Can Swansea make final push?
A 2-2 draw away from home at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest kept 8th placed Swansea City in the hunt for a possible place in the play-offs as the hosts still remain within striking distance of the top six and their Welsh counterparts, Cardiff City, as they’re just three points adrift.
However, having lost 1-0 at home to Leeds United beforehand, this makes this upcoming clash against Bristol City a ‘must-win’ game not just for Bristol City but Saturday’s hosts, Swansea City, as they attempt one last push for the play-offs under manager, Steve Cooper.
Recent wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City had seemingly set Swansea on their way but they’ve been held up in their last two matches; as the pressure increases, the prospect of a straight win may decrease but goals could feature here for both sides as they make late claims for a top six finish.
Bristol City Preview – Can Bristol City pull off crucial win?
With just two league matches remaining of this season’s Championship campaign and five points adrift of 6th placed Cardiff City, this clash at Swansea presents Bristol City with a simple equation – they must take all three points here or forget about the play-offs.
Of course, Bristol City must also hope that Cardiff City lose their last two remaining matches and other results to go their way, but having registered back-to-back wins against Hull City and Middlesbrough along with a point in a 1-1 draw with Stoke City, The Robins are still mathematically in the frame for a possible top six finish.
Lee Johnson’s side must be kicking themselves after enduring a miserable nine-match sequence without a win prior to their recent upturn in form which included seven defeats, but the prospect of goals also looks likely from the visitor’s point of view as 8 of Bristol City’s last 10 matches overall have resulted in both teams scoring.
