Recent form
Swansea
Swansea's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mix of results. The team experienced a brief positive streak with back-to-back wins against Norwich and Coventry City, but this was followed by a draw and a loss in their most recent Championship matches. Notably, Swansea has been involved in several low-scoring affairs, with five out of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game, but their offensive output has been lacking, scoring only 0.67 goals per game. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six matches. Despite their mixed form, Swansea currently sits in 11th position in the Championship, suggesting they have been competitive overall in the league this season.
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mixed bag of results. The most notable aspect is their latest match, a resounding 6-1 victory over Portsmouth, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and their best performance in this period. This win came after a concerning run of three consecutive losses in the Championship, highlighting the team's volatility. Despite the recent big win, Stoke's league position (21st) and points tally (6 from 7 games) suggest they are struggling in the Championship. Their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with 9 goals in 6 games, but 6 of those came in a single match. Defensively, they've managed only one clean sheet in this period, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. The team's tendency towards low-scoring affairs is evident, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form
Swansea
Swansea's recent home form has been solid, with an unbeaten streak in their last four Championship matches at the Swansea.com Stadium. The team has shown resilience, securing two wins and two draws in their last five home games across all competitions. Notably, their only home defeat came in the League Cup against Wycombe. The Swans have been particularly impressive in front of goal, scoring three goals each in back-to-back home games against Gillingham and Preston. Defensively, they've been strong, conceding only three goals in their last five home matches, including two clean sheets. The team's ability to score consistently while maintaining a tight defense has contributed to their mid-table position in the Championship, accumulating 11 points from 7 games.
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with a notable run of three consecutive away wins across all competitions before their current two-game losing streak in the Championship. The standout performance was their impressive 5-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the League Cup, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. Despite scoring 8 goals in their last 6 away matches, Stoke has struggled to find the net in their two most recent Championship away games, both resulting in defeats. Their defensive record is relatively solid, with 3 clean sheets in 6 games, but they've conceded 3 goals each in two of their losses. Interestingly, in none of these 6 away games did both teams score, and 67% of the matches saw under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring encounters on the road.
