Swansea City vs Fulham Live Stats & Betting Odds
Swansea City Prediction – Can Swansea consolidate play-off position?
Swansea City gained a solid point away from home during the week when they held an ever-improving Huddersfield Town to a 1-1 draw at the John Smith’s Stadium and they’ll now return to their Liberty Stadium for this important top six clash against Fulham on Friday night.
The hosts have now lost just 1 of their last 5 matches overall in the Championship, which was a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Millwall on Saturday but recent wins against arch-rivals Cardiff City along with victory over Wigan Athletic have helped Steve Cooper’s side into the top six of the second tier.
However, whilst on the surface everything appears to be plain sailing for The Swans, the hosts have managed to record just 1 home win out of their last 6 matches which was the win over Cardiff City but defeats to Nottingham Forest, Stoke City, Brentford and Millwall have been a worrying sign.
Indeed, Swansea’s home record of 4-1-4 11/11 is worse than their record away from home and the Welsh club have kept just 2 clean sheets at home so far this season which may be their undoing against Fulham.
Fulham Prediction – Can Fulham close gap on top two?
3rd placed Fulham will have plenty of incentive to grab a result in Wales on Friday night as they trail 2nd placed Leeds United by 5 points and Championship leaders, West Brom, by a 7-point margin but these deficits would be reduced significantly with a win at the Liberty Stadium.
Fulham registered a third win on the trot in the Championship in midweek with a thumping 3-0 home win against Derby County to hand Scott Parker’s Cottagers a 9-point haul from their last 3 matches and the London side are now starting to build momentum.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches, which was an inexplicable 3-0 defeat at home to Hull City, Fulham seem to be gathering pace under manager, Parker, and they’ve also picked up some important points on the road in recent weeks too.
An away record of 3-3-2 9/7 includes just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches on their travels and includes wins at Huddersfield Town, Reading and Birmingham City as well as draws with Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough.
