Prediction published on 01/01/2024, 01:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions

Swansea City will be looking to rekindle their dominance against West Bromwich Albion when they host the Baggies in the Championship. Going into this Monday game, Swansea are 17th while West Brom are fifth in the Championship standings. Swansea will be desperate for a win here, being just eight points above the relegation zone. They will be banking on their domination in this fixture having beaten West Brom in four of their last five meetings. In their last meeting, however, Swansea took a 3-2 beating away to West Brom. One strength Swansea will carry into this game is their scoring form against the Baggies. Swansea have scored twice in each of the last five meetings with West Brom. They did show this strength in their 2-2 draw with Coventry City last time out. Liam Cullen’s late equalizer won the point for the Swans and they’ll be looking to do better here.

West Bromwich Albion have top six ambitions and will hope to stay up there as much as possible. Being five points ahead of the seventh placed side, West Brom will be motivated to widen the gap. A top two finish doesn’t look unachievable either and that’s where their energies seem directed. West Brom haven't scored a lot coming into this game; they haven't managed more than a goal in the last four games. However, they are coming here with three wins in the last five matches, the most recent a 1-0 win over Leeds United. Their away run hasn’t been smooth though, losing three of the last five. Half of their last 10 away matches produced over 2.5 goals. Five of the last seven matches pitting these two sides ended in over 2.5 goals.
