Bristol City v Swansea
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 9th February at 12:00
🏆
Competition: Championship
Bristol City host Swansea on Sunday, with the side’s seasons seemingly heading in different directions.
City have lost just once in 8 league games and sit in in 9th position, 2 points outside the play-offs, whilst Swansea have lost their last 4 games, conceding 12 goals in the process.
⭐ Bristol City v Swansea Best Bet
All is not well at Swansea, particularly with their performances on the pitch.
They’ve lost their last 5 games in all competitons, 4 of which saw their opposition win the game by 2 goals or more. They’ve conceded 15 goals in those 5 games, and will still be without their best defender, Harry Darling, for this 1. Manager Luke Williams has a history of overseeing teams that don’t defend well, with Notts County last season conceding 1.8 goals per game during his tenure.
City are not the most free-scoring, but average a respectable 1.5 goals per game at home, and when up against porous sides like Plymouth and Pompey, they won 4-0 and 3-0. Swansea are at that level at the moment.
🟢 Bristol City v Swansea #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Swansea have conceded in both halves in 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions, whilst City managed it last time out at home against Blackburn.
Bristol City have been awarded more corners than their opposition in 10/14 home games this season, and both average more and concede less than Swansea do in their home games compared to the Swans’ away games.
Swansea have won the card match bet more often than not this season averaging 2.1 cards per game, whilst Bristol City have lost the card match bet 9 times out of 14, only averaging 1.6 cards per game
👕 Bristol City v Swansea Predicted XI
🔍 Bristol City v Swansea Players to Watch
🔴 Scott Twine
Only Anis Mehmeti has scored more goals than the 5 Scott Twine has notched at Ashton Gate so far this season.
Twine is a sweet striker of a football, with 2 of his goals coming from direct free kicks, and another from around 25 yards.
Twine averages over 3 shots per 90, so given we expect the Robins to be on the front foot, we can surely expect Twine to have a few sights of goal. 4.20 is a huge price for 1 of Bristol City’s most talented forward players when they’re comfortably odds-on to win the game.
⚪ Ben Cabango
Very much a pick based on recent form rather than season-long data, as Ben Cabango has managed a shot on target in 3 of his last 4 starts.
There is some data from this season which gives this more appeal, as Cabango opened the scoring against Bristol City in the reverse fixture back in September.

💻 Bristol City v Swansea Form and Tactics
Liam Manning’s Bristol City have performed well this season, particularly at home where they average just shy of 2 points per game. They’re difficult to beat at Ashton Gate, only losing to 2nd place Sheffield United and 3rd place Burnley.
They operate with a 4-2-3-1, with Scott Twine and Anis Mehmeti having free roles behind a lone striker, creating chances through passes in behind the defence.
Luke Williams is under pressure at Swansea, both due to results on the pitch, and issues off it, having failed to convincingly distance himself from the recent vacancy at West Brom.
They play possession football, with only Leeds having a higher average possession figure this season. Unfortunately, they’re not able to convert possession into goals, with only 5 teams having scored less. They’re underperforming their xGF by nearly 7 goals.
