Swansea City vs Stoke City Predictions

Swansea can nick it at the Liberty

Swansea should be backed to beat Stoke at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday. The visitors are on a losing run of two straight away games and Swansea manager Vitor Matos will be hopeful of getting a result against Mark Robins’ side.

Stoke are two places above Swansea in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts are 16th with 13 wins and 15 defeats, while Stoke are 14th with 13 wins and 14 losses.

Swansea’s recent results inspire confidence, with seven wins in their last nine home games in the Championship.

Swansea have been prolific at home, scoring an average of 1.60 goals a game in their 15 Championship games against other bottom-half teams this season.

Stoke are out of form, having won just one of their last nine Championship matches. They have failed to win any of their last four games on the road.

Stoke have struggled defensively in recent games, failing to keep their opponents at bay in four straight Championship matches. They have kept just one clean sheet in the last eight games, which came against West Brom last month.

A narrow 1-0 win for Swansea looks the most likely outcome. Four of their last six Championship games have stayed under 2.5 goals and they have won five matches this season by a 1-0 scoreline, while Stoke have lost six games in that way.
