Swansea look a little more fun under new coach Vitor Matos, as they look to emerge from a spell of dour football under previous manager Alan Sheehan. 

The xG tallies don’t suggest an increase in the quality of the chances, but they are certainly taking plenty of shots, 15, 15 and 14 across their last three games, which has led to two wins and a harsh defeat away at Stoke City. There have been two or more goals in nine of their last 10 league games.

Wrexham are the visitors for a Welsh derby, fresh from a 2-2 home draw with Watford after a 91st-minute equaliser from Ollie Rathbone. They may try and turn this one into a cagey affair, as they often do not carry much threat away from home, having scored one or none in their last six league away games. 

They have kept a couple of clean sheets recently at Ipswich and Portsmouth, but those came when facing a combined 38 shots and 3.19 xG, which is not sustainable.

I watched AFC Wimbledon at the weekend against Mansfield, in a game which will not live long in the memory. One shot on target for each team, and one true chance each in an attritional game which neither side wanted to lose. The Stags had a goal wrongly disallowed, too, in my view.

Even just looking at the form table, The Dons are six league games without a win from a pretty favourable run of fixtures, all bar one against teams below them in the table.

Northampton have been doing okay of late, beating Mansfield and Plymouth, who are probably of a similar standard to AFC Wimbledon. They also managed to hold big-spending Huddersfield to a draw on home soil. 

There’s not much between the two sides in terms of ability, but I think morale will be higher in the Cobblers camp, and either way, it’s difficult to see Wimbledon mustering a victory.
