Swansea City and Stoke City bring round 42 of the EFL Championship to an end when they go head to head at the Swansea.com Stadium on Wednesday. Luke Williams’ men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the Potters, having failed to win their last five meetings since March 2021.
Swansea City’s push for a top-half finish suffered a fresh blow at the weekend when they fell to a 2-0 loss against Middlesbrough. Williams’ men have now gone three consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming one draw since a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City on March 16.
While Swansea will look to stop the rot on Wednesday, they take on an opposing side whom they have failed to get the better of in their last five meetings since March 2021.
Over in the West Midlands, Stoke City failed to pull clear of the danger zone as they played out a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion last time out. With that result, the Potters have now gone three home games on the spin without a win, picking up two points from the last nine available at the bet365 Stadium.
Stoke City are currently 18th in the Championship table, one point and three places adrift of Wednesday’s hosts, and just four points above the relegation zone.
