Swansea recorded two wins in their last three matches, but started off by losing 1-0 against Middlesbrough. They responded by beating Gillingham 3-1, and followed that up by winning 3-0 against Preston. Swansea managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series. They scored nine goals and conceded two times.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Swansea hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

In their last six away matches in the Championship, Cardiff won twice, while also recording zero draws.
