Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Swansea.com Stadium when Swansea City and Southampton go head to head in Saturday’s matinee. The South Wales outfit have been producing fine displays of late, with the team beating WBA in the league, Morecambe in the FA Cup, while sharing the spoils with Birmingham City. Teenage midfielder Sam Parker limped off with injury in the last league match, with veteran Joe Allen likely to step up, while all Josh Key, Harrison Ashby, Josh Ginnelly, and Azeem Abdulai remain in the recovery room.
The Saints, on the other hand, rolled over Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in their last league match to move closer to automatic promotion berth. Despite Swansea’s promising form in January, away win should be considered as Russell Martin’s troops have been scoring goals for fun of late. Joe Aribo is on international duty with Nigeria, while all Samuel Edozie, James Bree, Ross Stewart, Juan Larios, and Kamaldeen Sulemana should miss out with injuries.
