Swansea News and Form

Swansea have home soil advantage for this fifth round FA Cup tie as they take on fellow Championship side Brentford. It can be another hard to predict the outcome of cup clashes between two sides from the same division. However, Swansea have some big head-to-head advantage going over the Bees at the moment. The Welsh club have gone unbeaten in their last seven fixtures against Brentford in all competitions, and they are currently on a five-match winning streak against them.

Four of the last five victories that Swansea have taken over Brentford have been by a 2-0 scoreline. Swansea paid a visit to Championship title contenders Leeds on Wednesday night, coming away from an Elland Road empty-handed. However, Swansea are undefeated in their last five games at the Liberty Stadium, winning three of those. Swansea do though only have two clean sheets in their last nine home fixtures.

 

Key-Facts – Swansea v Brentford

  • The Swans are unbeaten in five at the Liberty Stadium
  • Swansea are unbeaten in seven against Brentford
  • Brentford have only won two away games all season

 

Brentford News and Form

Brentford too had midweek action in the league, as they played host to Aston Villa, grabbing a victory. But it is their away form which really has come under some scrutiny. They have been a much better side at Griffin Park than out on the road this season. The Bees have only managed one victory in their last 16 away games in all competitions. Actually, Brentford have only collected two victories all season on their travels.

So that surely has to count as a negative against them. Also, they have only managed one clean sheet all season away from home. They have actually conceded at least two goals in eight of their last three away games. But each of Brentford’s last three road games have ended up over 2.5 goals, so hopefully that translates to excitement for this FA Cup fifth-round tie. Even though they have not been winning much, Brentford have actually only lost one of their last five away games (W1 D3 L1).
