Swansea City hosts Charlton Athletic in round 26 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Thursday, January 2nd at Liberty Stadium (Swansea)
It's rather strange to see Swansea as such an obvious favorite. The team has only two wins in November and December. The Swans gained the same number of victories in the last 10 home matches. And such results are not surprising, given the constant failures in defense. Yes, Swansea managed to keep a clean sheet in a match with Barnsley, but earlier the Swans conceded three goals from Brentford. In general, they managed to keep a clean sheet in only two of the last 10 matches. I doubt that they will be able to improve their statistics shortly.

Charlton performed quite well in its last matches. In particular, the Red Robins managed to deal with tough Bristol in their field. And they were not lucky in a match with Derby: they looked much more active in the attack, but the Rams converted their moments more successfully. But the main thing for us is that Charlton managed to score in two last games of 2019. Moreover, Athletic scored eight goals in the last four matches. With such a performance, we can expect the Red Robins to fight in the den of Swansea.
Charlton Athletic failed to score in just 20% of the matches. It is a very good performance for the team, which dangled in League 1 for many years, and now it successfully imposes the fight on clubs from the Championship. Even such experienced rivals as Brentford, Leeds and West Bromwich conceded from Charlton and even lost points in matches with the Red Rodins. And if you take into account the performance of Athletic in recent matches, as well as Swansea’s failures in defense, the goal of the visitors is a very likely event. But the hosts are also unlikely to leave the field without a goal scored. Still, Charlton lacks a class, and the team fails in defense regularly. Actually, the Red Robins concedes two or more goals for four games in a row, and the last time they kept a clean sheet was in October. On the contrary, Swansea scores regularly. The team failed to score in only three out of 18 last matches. Finally, the Swans managed to score two goals in the away game with Charlton, and they’ll probably breach the problematic defense of the Red Robins at home.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
