Swansea City Preview – Swans to take the points on home soil?
Steve Cooper’s Swansea City have been solid so far this season. Ahead of matchday 16 in the Championship, the Swans have won seven of their opening 15 games, drawing five and losing three of the other eight.
After taking seven points from a possible nine, Swansea fell to a disappointing defeat in midweek. Cooper’s men come up short at the Riverside Stadium against Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough, losing 2-1. Despite Yan Dhanda’s goal 12 minutes from time, two Duncan Watmore strikes did the business for Boro.
The Welsh side have been solid at the Liberty Stadium this season. Since a shock 2-1 reverse to Huddersfield Town in mid-October, Swansea have taken ten points from a possible 12 on their own patch.
Cooper will be looking for a response from his players after the midweek loss at the Riverside. Swansea are the clear favourites in this one and should return to winning ways at the weekend.
Luton Town Preview – Hatters to come up short in South Wales?
Nathan Jones’ Luton Town have been very competitive so far. The Hatters are nicely placed in 11th at present, winning six of their opening 15. After an embarrassing loss to Cardiff City in South Wales a week ago, Town hit back with an impressive victory in midweek.
Luton were the underdogs against leaders Norwich in front of a thousand fans at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday night. However, Jones’ boys were superb, with George Moncur, Matthew Pearson and James Collins netting in a deserved 3-1 win. That was their first victory in five.
