Comparative Team Statistics: Swansea vs Blackburn

A fixture with plenty of history

These sides have met close to twenty times stretching back to 2011, and the head-to-head has swung back and forth across different eras. There's no single dominant trend across that full span.

What stands out is the most recent pair of meetings. Swansea won 3-1 at home in January 2026 and then won 2-1 away at Blackburn the previous September, taking both.

The long history is mixed, but the two most recent meetings have both gone Swansea's way.

Where they sit this season

In the current Championship table, Swansea are top with 17 points from 8 games. Blackburn sit down in 16th with just 9 points from the same number of matches.

An eight-point gap after only eight games is a fairly sharp early-season split, and it lines up with the broader form picture rather than contradicting it.

This season specifically, not just the wider sample, has Swansea well clear of Blackburn so far.

Players to watch

Blackburn have two players on 3 goals apiece this term, O. Afolayan and A. Guðjohnsen, and Afolayan also chips in 2 assists. That's useful individual threat even while the team as a whole has struggled for results.

Swansea:

Best scorers:

A. Idah - 3

Best assist providers:

Eom Ji-Sung - 2

Penalty cards:

F. Lissah x 4

Blackburn:

Best scorers:

O. Afolayan - 3

A. Guðjohnsen - 3

Best assist providers:

O. Afolayan - 2

Penalty cards:

Tom Atcheson x 1 x 2

Sam Morsy x 4

Swansea's A. Idah also has 3 goals, with Eom Ji-Sung contributing 2 assists from fewer appearances. On discipline, Sam Morsy and F. Lissah are both on 4 yellow cards each, worth keeping in mind for a tetchy fixture.

Blackburn still carry enough attacking quality to trouble a strong home side, even with their league position lagging behind.
