Swansea City Preview – Can The Swans take flight?
It’s been a slow and sluggish start to their new Championship campaign for Swansea City following a 2-1 loss away from home at Blackburn Rovers on the opening day of the season which was followed by a 0-0 draw at home with Sheffield United on Saturday.
Indeed, recent results have seen something of a decline for The Swans as the Welsh outfit have managed to win just two of their last 10 matches overall in the English second tier which came in the form of wins against Derby County and Barnsley while also slipping to four defeats as well.
Swansea are unbeaten in their last three matches at home though, while the bigger picture shows that the hosts have lost just four of their previous 22 matches on home soil and includes a 2-0 home win over Stoke City in their last meeting at the Liberty Stadium.
Stoke City Preview – Can Potters mould a win?
Stoke City have also registered just two wins from their last nine games in the Championship although Michael O’Neill’s side have made a solid start to this new second tier campaign, beating Reading 3-2 at home and picking up a point in a 0-0 draw away at Birmingham City on the weekend.
However, four defeats within this nine-game period suggests a level of inconsistency with The Potters and this has certainly been the case for Stoke on the road as they’ve won just two of their last 16 away matches in the Championship.
In addition, Stoke have failed to score in eight of these 16 away games and have scored 2 goals or more in just three of these 16 matches also.
