2024-25 Sky Bet Championship: Week 16 – Sunday

Swansea host promotion-chasing Leeds United in a Championship encounter.

Victory would see Swansea climb to ninth in the table, whilst Leeds can go top with a win.

 

Team News

Swansea could welcome Jay Fulton back from a calf injury which kept him out of their last three matches.

Oli Cooper (foot), Sam Parker (hamstring), Ji-sung Eom (knee), Andrew Fisher (groin) and Josh Ginnelly (Achilles) are ruled out.

Leeds will be without defender, Isaac Schmidt due to hernia surgery in the international break.

Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev (both knee), Largie Ramazani (ankle), Joe Gelhardt (hip) and Junior Firpo (suspension) won’t feature in South Wales.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Swansea host Leeds at Swansea Stadium on Sunday 24 November at 3pm GMT, live on Sky Sports in the UK.

 

Stat Attack

  • Swansea have lost four of their last six league meetings against Leeds (W1, D1, L4).
  • Leeds have won two of their last seven league visits to Swansea (W2, D2, L3).
  • Swansea have scored one goal and conceded eight goals in their last three meetings against Leeds (L3).
  • Swansea have kept three clean sheets in their last five home games (W2, D2, L1).
  • Leeds are winless in their last four away trips (D3, L1).

 

Prediction

Inconsistency has been the story of Swansea’s campaign but they nevertheless are firmly in mid-table, but I would like to see them to now find some momentum especially after an unlucky loss at Burnley.

Leeds meanwhile have done well to grind out results during their recent midfield crisis but with key players now available, I am anticipating a more ruthless display and an improvement in their away form which has been a weak point this season.

Swansea though do know how to resiliently dig in defensively as Burnley found out before the break, but Leeds should have too much for them here.

Prediction: Swansea 0-2 Leeds

Result: Swansea 3-4 Leeds
