Swansea City hosts Brentford in round 26 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 27th at Liberty Stadium (Swansea)
The Swans were able to make some noise at the beginning of the last decade. They made it to the Premier League for the first time in history and spent many glorious years there. Moreover, Swansea managed to win the League Cup in 2013. But in 2018, the club from Wales returned to the Championship and has not managed to climb to the lost level. In the last draw, Steve Cooper raised the Swans to 6th place, but they did not succeed in achieving promotion in the playoffs. Now his players continue to improve their results and take second place at the moment. In the last 5 rounds, only Reading (2-2) took points from Swansea. The campaign in the cup is also quite good - on Saturday, Swansea beat Nottingham Forest.

Under Thomas Frank, Brentford became a decent force in the Championship. In the previous season, the Bees just lacked a little to take 2nd place (they lagged two points behind West Bromwich in the end). And the more experienced Fulham turned out to be a little stronger in the final of the playoffs. But most importantly, the Danish manager does not allow the team to regress, as this often happens after a painful defeat at the end of a successful season. Brentford made it to the League Cup semifinals, where it lost to Tottenham. Beyond that, the team eliminated Middlesbrough in another cup but lost to Leicester on Sunday. The Bees quickly opened the scoring, but the Foxes braced up after the break and scored three times. Well, now Brentford can focus on the Championship and the fight for the 2nd place. The first is taken by Norwich, which has already seriously broken away from its pursuers. The Bees have not been defeated in the tournament since October, and the unbeaten streak has reached 16 meetings in a row. And the last four games ended in victories.
Previously, Swansea was quoted higher, but Brentford has begun to level the statistics in recent years. The Bees gained three victories in the last five head-to-head meetings, and the last game ended in a draw in London. They were in the lead for a long time, but Andre Ayew equalized in the 77th minute. Now coefficients are approximately equal, and both the hosts and the visitors have a chance of winning. But we think that the teams will please us with interesting football and at least two goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
