Bristol City 1-0 Swansea

Recent form

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent form has been disappointing, with the team currently on a four-game losing streak in the Championship. Prior to this run of defeats, they had secured back-to-back wins against Southampton and Middlesbrough, but their momentum has since faltered. The team's defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed, conceding nine goals in their last six matches, while scoring eight. Notably, 70% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters. However, Bristol City has struggled to keep clean sheets, with both teams finding the net in 70% of their previous six fixtures. As they sit in 14th position in the league table, the team will need to address their defensive frailties and aim to regain their winning form to avoid slipping further down the standings.

Swansea

Swansea, currently sitting in 15th position in the league with 43 points from 36 games, have had a mixed bag of results in their last six matches.

Swansea's matches have been generally high-scoring, with 70% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals, and both teams finding the back of the net in 70% of those encounters. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, compared to their scoring average of 1.17 goals per game.
