Swansea vs West Brom Prediction

Current Season Form

Swansea's Championship record this season reads seven wins, two draws and two losses from eleven games, and until last time out they'd put together a four-match winning run. That ended with a home defeat to West Ham, so there's a small dent in an otherwise strong campaign.

Swansea: 20 completed matches; West Brom: 20 completed matches.

West Brom have been solid too, with six wins, two draws and three losses from their eleven league games. They dipped with back-to-back defeats in late September and early October but have since won their last two on the spin, including an away win at Wrexham.

Both teams go into this off decent recent form, with West Brom arguably carrying the better momentum right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Swansea vs West Brom

Head-to-Head

These two have met plenty of times down the years, stretching back through the Premier League and various Championship seasons, and the results are fairly evenly split. In their last three meetings, West Brom won away, Swansea won at home, and the FA Cup tie between them finished level.

There's no obvious pattern here that favours either side heading into this one.

League Table Picture

Swansea currently top the Championship with 23 points from eleven games, while West Brom sit fifth on 20 points from the same number of matches. It's a gap of just three points between two sides near the top of the division.

Swansea's defence has been tighter, conceding eight compared to West Brom's twelve, even though both teams have scored similar numbers going forward.

The table gap is narrow enough that this looks like a contest between two well-matched sides rather than a clear favourite and underdog.
