The trend of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Swansea City has become noticeable of late. Checking on their last six outings reveals that it’s occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal aggregate of 4 and Swansea City have scored 7. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

Their past results show that Swansea City:

• have not emerged victorious against Huddersfield Town when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. Not good at all.
• remain unbeaten by Huddersfield Town when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Huddersfield

Ollie Turton (Meniscus injury) and Josh Ruffels (Groin injury) are unavailable for Huddersfield manager André Breitenreiter.

We are thinking that The Terriers may well use the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Lee Nicholls, Matty Pearson, Tom Lees, Michal Helik, Brodie Spencer, Alex Matos, David Kasumu, Sorba Thomas, Jack Rudoni, Josh Koroma and Bojan Radulovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Swansea City

Swansea City manager Luke Williams has multiple availability issues to deal with. Harrison Ashby (Muscle injury), Joe Allen (Toe injury), Przemyslaw Placheta (Hamstring injury), Kyle Naughton (Hamstring injury) and Josh Ginnelly (Achilles tendon rupture) will miss out on this game.

We believe The Swans could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Josh Tymon, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes, Ronald, Oliver Cooper, Jamie Paterson and Jamal Lowe.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Swansea City will have to perform well to hit the back of the net against this Huddersfield Town lineup who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

Our tip is therefore for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Huddersfield Town when the referee blows for full-time.
