The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Swansea City and Bristol City lock horns at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday. Vitor Matos’ men have picked up 19 points from a possible 21 at home since the start of December and will be out to extend this impressive run of results.
Swansea City continue to struggle for results on the road, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Derby County when the two sides squared off at Pride Park last Saturday.
Thanks for the submission!
While the Swans have lost three of their most recent four away matches, home comforts await, as they return to the Swansea.com Stadium, where they are on a run of six wins and one draw from their last seven league games.
Swansea have picked up 42 points from their 32 Championship matches so far to sit 16th in the league standings, level on points with 15th-placed Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Bristol City continue to blow hot and cold in the new year, with the Robins needing a 92nd-minute strike from Max Bird to salvage a 2-2 draw against Wrexham last weekend.
Gerhard Struber’s men have failed to win five of their eight league matches in 2026, losing three and claiming two draws while scoring 12 goals and conceding 13 so far.
With 47 points from 32 Championship matches, Bristol City are currently ninth in the league table, one point behind sixth-placed Derby County in the final playoff spot.
