Leeds are rightly favourites for Sunday afternoon’s encounter with Swansea. It’s 11th v 3rd in the league table. 12th v 1st in expected points. 11th v 1st for total xG. 16th v 1st for xGA.

Leeds have avoided defeat in 13/15 Championship matches this season and 6/7 away matches.

Swansea have drew or been defeated in 10/15 Championship matches this season and 4/7 home matches.

9/30 Championship matches involving either Swansea or Leeds this season have ended in draws including two of Swansea’s last four home matches and three of Leeds’s last four away matches.

His shot numbers in all competitions this season read 0-3-1-0-2-0-1-1-0-2-1-2-1-6-2-2.

He averages 1 shot every 35.46 minutes and has a 41.7% shot on target percentage.

Piroe has had at least one shot on target in five of his last seven appearances and is Leeds’s top scorer in the league this season with 6 goals.

Piroe scored in both of Leeds’s fixtures against Swansea last season.

A low scoring game is expected with just one of Swansea’s home league matches this season having more than two goals.

Championship matches involving Swansea this season average 1.4 goals per game.

All 15 of Swansea’s Championship matches this season have ended with under 3.5 goals.

13/15 of Leeds’s Championship matches this season have ended with under 3.5 goals.

Referee, Dean Whitestone is lenient and averages 3.6 cards per game across the 10 matches he’s officiated this season.

Under 4.5 cards have been given in 8/15 Swansea matches this season.

Leeds are expected to beat Swansea but it’s worth keeping the draw onside as Swansea have drew two of their last four home matches and Leeds have drew three of their last four away games.

Leeds have won or drew 87% of their Championship matches this season and 86% of away matches.

Swansea have failed to win in 67% of their Championship matches this season and 57% of their home matches.

Swansea stopper, Lawrence Vigouroux is a reliable shot stopper who’ll need to be at his best to keep Leeds at bay,

Leeds have taken more shots at goal than any other team in the division with 226. The league average is 162.

Leeds average 5.3 shots on target per match – the highest in the division.

Swansea’s keeper averages 2.9 saves per match.

Summer signing from Sheffield United, Jayden Bogle has provided Leeds with an additional attacking threat from right back this season – he has already chipped in with two Championship goals.

Bogle’s shot numbers this season read 0-0-0-1-0-1-2-1-0-2-1-2-1-4. His shot on target percentage is low at 20% but his efforts come from good shot locations – 11/15 from inside the area for a combined xG of 1.44.

Even in Sheffield United’s torrid 2023/24 Premier League season, Bogle averaged a shot every 108 minutes. This season that average is down to 1 in 89 minutes.

Myles Peart-Harris will likely play on one of the flanks for Swansea where his task will be as much defensive as it will be attacking.

Peart-Harris started the season in a central role where his foul numbers were low. They read 0-0-0-0-1-0-0.

But since moving wide Peart-Harris fouls numbers have increased. His last five matches have seen foul numbers of 1-3-4-3-1.

Peart-Harris has received two yellow cards in those last five matches. One for a foul and another for delaying a free kick
