Swansea v Leeds

Swansea vs Leeds Preview

Swansea City were unable to make it three wins on the trot in the Championship just before the international break and indeed, the Welsh outfit slipped to a 1-0 defeat away from home at Burnley, while Leeds United returned to winning ways before the break with a solid 2-0 home win against QPR at Elland Road.

As a result of that 1-0 loss at Turf Moor against fourth placed Burnley, Swansea City have dropped down the Championship table to 11th place but although The Swans now return to the home surroundings of their Swansea.com Stadium for this upcoming encounter on Sunday afternoon, home advantage carries no guarantees of success for the hosts.

Recent back-to-back wins against Oxford United and Watford handed The Swans some hope of turning a corner in what has been a pretty ordinary campaign so far in the Championship but these have been the host's only successes in their previous nine games overall.

Points picked up in draws with Bristol City, Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday have been overshadowed by being dealt losses by the likes of Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Burnley respectively.

That said, Swansea City's best chance of gaining a result appear to be at home where the Welsh club have suffered just three defeats in their last 13 home games in the English second tier.

Leeds United will be keen to pick up where they left off before the international break as the Yorkshire side look to make it back-to-back wins in Wales on Sunday afternoon as they look to keep tabs on the top two sides in the Championship table, Sunderland and Sheffield United.

The visitors have enjoyed a solid and steady campaign in the English second tier so far this season as Daniel Farke's side have been dealt just the two losses to date which came in the shape of defeats at the hands of promotion rivals Burnley, as well as a loss at Millwall.

However, Leeds United have also collected eight wins within their opening 15 games of this new campaign along with two draws and having picked up four wins from their last six games overall in the Championship, the Yorkshire outfit look in good shape to add to their points tally at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Recent important wins at the expense of Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United along with additional victories over Watford, Plymouth Argyle and QPR respectively underlines Leeds United's threat here on Sunday afternoon.

In addition, Leeds United have lost just once in their last eight outings on the road in the Championship.

Swansea City v Leeds United Verdict

Leeds United have held the upper hand over Swansea City in recent exchanges as the visitors have won the last three meetings on the trot and a fourth consecutive victory could be just around the corner.
