Southampton

The current season is shaping up well for the Saints as they hold the fourth position in the championship, with strong prospects for a return to the elite. The gap from the second place is significant, a whole 7 points, while the lead over the fifth position is 9 points. Southampton had a slow start but is currently on a 15-game unbeaten streak, including 10 wins and 5 draws. In the last round, they managed to defeat QPR away with a score of 1:0. Striker Adam Armstrong is in good form with 12 goals and 7 assists to his name. Injuries will prevent three players from taking the field.

Swansea

The Swans are currently in the 16th position in the championship, with a substantial 8-point gap from the danger zone. The team performs at the level of a mid-table club, not contending for the top 6, which is 8 points away. In the last round, they narrowly won against Preston at home with a score of 2:1, with the decisive goal scored in the 90+5th minute by Jamie Paterson, who also secured a brace in that match. The club had five squad losses before this confrontation.

Interesting Facts about the Match and Head-to-Head History

• Southampton has not suffered a defeat in the Championship for three months.
• The last meeting between the two teams was last year in the FA Cup, where Southampton won away, even being a man down and in overtime.

Prediction

The hosts are favored in this pair, which seems obvious as Southampton plays at home and holds a higher position in the league table. An exciting battle is expected, with Southampton likely to have the upper hand. Swansea will not come to surrender but will aim to give a fight to their opponent. We predict a clean victory for the home team.
