Swansea City Preview – Will the Swans seal a third straight home win?
Swansea City have reached the play-offs two years in a row, but the Welsh side have spent practically all of this season in the bottom half of the Championship table. The Swans are currently in 16th with 41 points to their name.
Swansea have been solid at home in recent weeks, winning three of the past four. In the last one, goals from Michael Obafemi, Cyrus Christie and Joel Piroe were enough for a 3-1 win over Bristol City.
Swansea were excellent on Monday at The Hawthorns. Joel Piroe netted in the 79th minute to put them in front, and Cyrus Christie added a second shortly after. Can they build on that with three points at home on Saturday?
Coventry City Preview – Can the Sky Blues keep the momentum going?
Coventry City have had a superb second season back in the Championship. The Sky Blues were tipped for a campaign of struggle before a ball was kicked, but they have been challenging for the play-off places.
Mark Robins’ troops are just three points away from sixth in tenth after taking seven points from their last three matches. Before last weekend’s home draw with Preston North End, City had sealed back-to-back wins over Barnsley and Bristol City.
