Swansea 2-3 Sunderland

Current streaks

Recent form

Swansea

Swansea have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Swans have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-3 defeat to Leeds United, which contributed to an impressive average of 3.33 total goals per game. Despite their inconsistent results, Swansea have maintained a consistent goal-scoring record, netting in each of their last six matches and averaging 1.67 goals per game. However, their defensive record is a cause for concern, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings and have conceded the same number of goals as they've scored. The team's ability to find the back of the net is evident, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches, and over 2.5 goals being scored in 67% of the games, suggesting that Swansea's matches are often entertaining affairs for neutrals.

Sunderland

Sunderland have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, displaying a resilient streak with four draws in their last six matches. The Black Cats have been difficult to beat, losing only once in this period, but have struggled to convert draws into wins. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting six times in six games, while maintaining a balanced goal difference. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding an average of one goal per game and keeping one clean sheet. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, indicating competitive encounters. The majority of Sunderland's recent games have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% featuring under 2.5 goals. Their most recent victory against Stoke City broke a five-match winless run, potentially signalling an upturn in form for the Wearside outfit.

Recent home/away form

Swansea

Swansea's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Swans struggling to find a winning rhythm at their own ground. In their last six home matches, they have managed just one victory, drawing three and losing two. Notably, their defence has been somewhat porous, conceding eight goals in this period, including a high-scoring 4-3 defeat to Leeds United. On a positive note, Swansea have kept two clean sheets in these six games, demonstrating occasional defensive solidity. The team's goal-scoring has been modest, averaging just over one goal per game, with 67% of their matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals in total. Interestingly, half of Swansea's recent home fixtures have seen both teams find the back of the net, suggesting entertaining encounters for the fans despite the mixed results.

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a notable defensive resilience but a struggle to find the back of the net. The Black Cats have kept three clean sheets in their last six away matches, conceding just three goals in total, which highlights their solid defensive performances on the road. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacking, scoring only four goals in these six games, with an average of 0.67 goals per match. Interestingly, 83% of their away fixtures have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring encounters. Sunderland's away form took a dip after two consecutive wins against Hull City and Luton Town, as they went on to draw three matches in a row before losing to Sheffield United. Despite the recent loss, their overall away record remains respectable, with two wins, three draws, and only one defeat in their last six outings.
