Swansea vs Bristol City predictions: On-song Swans to secure victory
- Bristol City have lost back-to-back away games 3-0
- Swansea have taken seven points from three home games this season
- Recommended bet: Swansea to win
Sunday’s Championship action sees Swansea City out to extend a solid run of form having put themselves on the edge of the Championship play-off places.
It has been an up-and-down season for visitors Bristol City so far, but a poor record on the road could be their downfall, although a 2-1 home win over Oxford United last time out will have boosted their morale.
Team news
Swansea are set to remain unchanged with the side in good form. The hosts remain without Kristian Pedersen, Andy Fisher and Josh Ginnelly ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Bristol City winger Yu Hirakawa could make his full debut in this trip. However, the Robins have a lengthy injury list which includes Rob Dickie Ross McCrorie and Rob Atkinson.
The stats
Bristol City have won one of their last 10 away league games and have scored once in their three away trips so far this term.
Swansea have won back-to-back league games and have conceded just four times across their six games this season.
Prediction
Swansea head into the weekend in seventh place following two impressive victories. The Welsh outfit have found goals hard to come by this season, but they were able to produce a 1-0 victory at home to Norwich before last weekend’s 2-1 win at Coventry.
The Swans will hope their home form can be the basis of a play-off push this term and the early signs are good.
They have taken seven points from their first three matches, conceding just one goal. While their 1-1 draw with rivals Cardiff was a setback, their home results should inspire confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Bristol City have won two, drawn two and lost two so far this season, but their best work has come at Ashton Gate where they are unbeaten. The Robins have lost consecutive away trips 3-0, going down to Blackburn and Derby County.
Scoring goals has been an issue for the Robins on the road and they should find things tough against this Swansea backline. The hosts have conceded only four times across their first six matches and that solid foundation eases their woes in the final third.
The Swans look to be building towards a play-off push under Luke Williams this season and their price is intriguing.
Bristol City head into this weekend having won once across their last 10 away games in the Championship, suffering two 3-0 defeats and a 4-0 loss within their last four trips.
The Swans have their issues, but they look strong following wins over two solid Championship sides.
With the Robins making this visit to Wales off the back of two comprehensive away losses, the value lies with the hosts, who can carve out another victory.
