Swansea vs Leeds

As they seek to increase their chances of finishing in the top six, Swansea will host Leeds United at Swansea.com Stadium in the championship match on Sunday afternoon.

The Swans were unlucky not to secure a draw with Burnley just before the internationals, while the Whites secured another comfortable win over Leeds at their place.

We have seen a set of three consecutive mid-table finishes consecutively, and the present season is no just a great chance for Swansea City to fight for a post for playoffs, Welsh Head coach Luke Williams is trying to reform the team’s pride back after a disastrous period with Michael Duff in the last season.

Swans continued the November fixture list with two league victories against Oxford United and Watford though Welsh side could not extend the winning streak to the third match November 10 when a last gasp Rodriguez penalty stole all the spoils for Burnley at their cont Lair sân Turf Moor.

Before the pandemic break they suffered a painful loss to Birmingham and prior to this weekend’s match Swansea sit precariously in 11th place in the Championship table, 6 points behind Watford and occupying the lowest rung of the playoffs ladder and only 4 points ahead of Cardiff City who hover on the relegation precipice.

Obtaining twelve points from seven matches, Swans have been pretty impressive at their South Wales base so far this football season, although Williams’s players will surely want to stick more to the Nets, and Sunday’s hosts scored only seven at home – fewer than only two teams, West Bromwich Albion (2) and Portsmouth (6), in English Prosto.

A major improvement in Swansea’s attacking prowess may be traced to academy talent Liam Cullen, having emerged among the frontrunners for the Golden Boot in the team, and following his spectacular performance with Wales on Tuesday, scoring four goals, and assisting another in the mauling of Iceland.

Under Daniel Farke, who had to cope with the departure of star player Crysencio Summerville over the summer, Leeds United is making every effort to guarantee a spot in the Premier League automatically at the second time of asking after suffering heartbreak in the Championship playoff final the previous season.

Before the two-week break, the Whites had amassed a solid six points from three second-tier games in November. Both of their wins had taken place in front of an enthusiastic Elland Road crowd, defeating Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle 3-0 and then defeating Queens Park Rangers twice.

Leeds has been incredibly strong at home, but if they want to beat teams like Sheffield United and Sunderland to a top-two finish, they will need to get better away from home. The visitors on Sunday have only won two of their seven away Championship games so far.

Farke's team is really on a four-game losing streak in their second-tier excursions, which included the October 4 trip to the Black Cats, where Regis Le Bris's team was awarded a share of the points in the closing seconds due to a bizarre error by goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
