Friday evening, from 19:45 pm, Swansea receives the visit of Fulham, in the 19th round of the Championship, the English second league. Both groups dream of promotion.
Fulham is in 3rd place (golaveraj 29-18), with only four failures in 18 games, and the Craven Cottage team has solid arguments for a place on the podium. Currently, in front of the black and white are bands like Leeds or West Bromwich Albion. Swansea is in 6th place (23-18 goal) and is two points behind the London rival.
Two good formations meet, although Swansea has not won three consecutive stages: 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday, 1-1 with Huddersfield and 0-1 with Milwall (home). Fulham, on the other hand, have three wins in a row, facing difficult opponents: 3-0 with Derby, 2-1 with QPR and 1-0 at Birmingham. From the point of view of the game provided at this moment, Fulham is a favorite, but Swansea can resist on its own ground. In fact, the Welsh won the last straight home match, scoring 2-0, in 2014, in the Premier League.
The hosts can’t rely on the injured Garrick and Rodon, while Fulham has Arter and Le Marchand uncertain. That’s right, Swansea has a modest balance in front of its fans this season, with just 13 points out of 30 accumulated. But the game of “swans” has been consistently good and Steve Cooper’s skill can be hard to overcome. Andre Ayew and Aleksandar Mitrovic will be the protagonists in the two attacks, and the statistics encourage goals in the second half.

Swansea City: Woodman; Roberts, Wilmot, Van der Hoorn, Bidwell; Fulton, Grimes; Ayew, Celina, Surridge; Walking stick
