Swansea v Bristol City

Swansea vs Bristol City Preview

Swansea City will be aiming to make it three league wins on the trot in the Championship on Sunday afternoon when the Welsh hosts take on Bristol City at their Swansea.com Stadium, while Bristol City will also head into this upcoming fixture on Sunday afternoon on the back of a win when The Robins captured all three points by way of recording a 2-1 home win against newcomers Oxford United last weekend.

Swansea City started the new Championship campaign in disappointing fashion as The Swans managed to pick up just one win from their opening four games of the new term, courtesy of a resounding 3-0 home win against Preston NE but the Welsh club also slipped to two defeats as well.

Losses at the hands of Middlesbrough and West Brom pegged the hosts back but it is worth mentioning that both of these defeats were inflicted upon Luke Williams' side on their travels but his side have bounced back in promising fashion.

Indeed, Swansea City have posted back-to-back wins in the Championship against Norwich City and Coventry City respectively and manager Luke Williams will be hoping his side can continue their momentum in this upcoming encounter at their Swansea.com Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Bristol City have produced a typically inconsistent start to their new Championship campaign as the west country club have collected two wins, two draws but have also slipped to two defeats as well, so literally anything looks like happening on Sunday afternoon!

However, when you drill down and look at The Robins' results in more detail you find that both of their league wins to date have been picked up on home soil at Ashton Gate with victories over Millwall and Oxford United, while it's perhaps telling that both of Bristol City's losses so far this term have been inflicted upon The Robins on the road.

Losses away from home at Derby County and Blackburn Rovers suggest this upcoming trip to Wales to take on Swansea City may result in another disappointing loss for Luke Manning's side despite losing just three of their previous 14 matches overall in the Championship.

Interestingly, each of these three losses though were handed out to Bristol City on their travels and indeed, the visitors have managed to capture just three victories from their last 21 outings on the road while also slipping to a total of 11 defeats within this period as well.

Swansea City v Bristol City Verdict

Bristol City have failed to score in 10 of their last 21 away games and this could be a telling statistic in this upcoming clash at Swansea City, especially as the Welsh hosts will be chasing a third league win on the trot here.
