Let us check out the match preview, team news, and betting odds to place your bets!

Swansea City: Form and Statistics

Form: LLLDW

Swansea's return to league action after a two-week international break was far from inspiring. The team found itself on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat against Bristol City at Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday.

The Swans have now lost three consecutive league games following that result. To make matters worse, they are without a win in five matches across all competitions, recording five losses and a solitary draw.

A return to their humble abode offers minimal assurance, having lost four of their last five matches across all competitions. This is where their defensive struggles stem from this season, as 13 of their 22 goals conceded have come from home.

Swansea City: Team News

Swansea City comes into this match with a clean bill of health, and the newly appointed head coach, Vitor Matos, should have plenty of options to choose from to name his strong starting lineup.

Benjamin Cabango and Josh Tymon were not available in the defeat against Bristol City, with the duo serving a one-match ban for exceeding the yellow card threshold. Cabango will retain his place in defense, and Tymon is in midfield.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-2-1): Vigouroux; Cabango, Burgess, Samuels-Smith; Ronald, Franco, Galbraith, Tymon; Eom, Cullen; Idah.

⛔️ Out: None.

👤 Head coach: Vitor Matos.

Derby County: Form and Statistics

Form: LWWWW

For Derby County, the autumn international window was far from being a blessing in disguise, but it has turned out to be a setback they'll need to shake off if they still dream of breaking their way into the top six in the EFL Championship league table.

On Saturday, their momentum was halted in a 3-2 home defeat against Watford. This result ended a run of five consecutive wins. During this period, they had notable wins against Blackburn and Sheffield United.

The Rams find themselves in unfamiliar territory and are currently riding high. They have won two consecutive matches after failing to win two in a row. This is also an opportunity for them to end a three-match away losing streak in this fixture. 

Derby County: Team News

Derby County have five players in the injury room, including Curtis Nelson, Carlton Morris, Owen Beck, Lewis Travis, and Max Johnston.

In defense, they've suffered a huge blow. Dion Sanderson won't be available this Tuesday as he is expected to serve a one-match ban for exceeding the yellow card threshold.

Danny Batth is the likely replacement here for the suspended Sanderson. The veteran defender will be making his sixth appearance for the club.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-2-1): Widell Zetterstrom; Clarke, Batth, Langas; Elder, Ozoh, Clark, Ward; Agyemang, Brereton Diaz; Jackson.

⛔️ Out: Curtis Nelson (knee injury), Carlton Morris (knee injury), Owen Beck (hamstring injury), Lewis Travis (calf injury), and Max Johnston (hamstring injury).

👤 Head coach: John Eustace.

Swansea City vs Derby County Match Prediction 25 November 2025

Swansea City's performance has not been convincing, having failed to win in their last five matches across all competitions. This could be another matchup where they struggle to achieve a favorable outcome.

Derby County have tended to struggle at this venue and have not won since 2020. In fact, they enter this match riding a three-match losing streak. Two of those outings saw both teams score. Additionally, Swansea have seen both teams score in nine of their last ten home matches. I'm expecting both teams to score here.
