Swansea City v Bristol City: Match preview

Bristol City make the trip over the River Severn once again, as they face Swansea City in the Sky Bet Championship

The Robins come off the back of a 2-1 win against Reading at Ashton Gate, with the hosts experiencing a 3-0 defeat at the bet365 Stadium in Stoke-on Trent.

In their last match-up, the Swans picked up all three points at Ashton Gate, as the Robins just couldn’t capitalise on what was actually a dominant performance.

Swansea currently sit in 17th place in the Championship, just two points below Bristol City in 16th, with two games in hand over the visitors.

Form

Bristol City – WLDLW

The Robins have picked up seven points from their last five games, though have struggled away from home, not winning a game on the road since their 3-2 victory against Peterborough back in October.

Swansea City– LWLLD

Swansea have only picked up four points from their last five games, losing three, though their home form has been fairly inconsistent in recent matches, also losing three of their last five.

Injury and suspension updates

The Robins will remain without Matty James (foot injury), Andy King (hamstring), George Tanner (hamstring), Rob Atkinson (calf), Nathan Baker (concussion) and Kasey Palmer (knee), with Callum O’Dowda (knee) also out for 4-6 weeks after his late substitution on Wednesday night.

Swansea haven’t particularly struggled with injuries in recent games, though Ryan Bennett will be side-lined after receiving a red card against Stoke City in midweek.

Squad Predictions

Bristol City – Max O’Leary should remain in goal after a good performance on Wednesday night, with a back three of Vyner, Klose and Kalas, and Dasilva and Pring as wing-backs. In midfield we should see a similar duo of Massengo and Scott, though
