Swansea City, Recent FormSwansea City had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Queens Park Rangers. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Queens Park Rangers, who had 15 shots on goal with 4 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They are showing great consistency at Swansea.com Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It's been a mixed run of form for Swansea recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Joël Piroe will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Swansea City.
Birmingham City, Recent FormThe Birmingham City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Preston North End recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 66% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Preston North End, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have found the net 7 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home.
Birmingham City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Birmingham City, Troy Deeney will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Swansea.com Stadium, The Blues have been unable to break through the Swansea defence and find the back of the net.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Swansea.com Stadium in the league, but Swansea will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
With only Michael Obafemi (Lack of fitness) and Liam Walsh (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Russell Martin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Birmingham manager John Eustace ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Calf) missing out, which gives Eustace a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
