Swansea City vs Southampton Prediction: Saints can move into top 2

Swansea City will welcome Southampton at Swansea.com Stadium in Game Week 28 of the English Championship. Saints can potentially move into automatic promotion spots with a win. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Swansea City form

A lot of attention will be given to Martin's return in this upcoming match, but Swansea and Luke Williams are focused on their third game under Williams' leadership. Although Swansea drew 2-2 in their first Championship game under Williams, they have only lost one out of their last six matches in all competitions. However, they currently sit seven points behind the sixth spot and are desperate for a winning streak. Assuming there are no injuries, Williams may opt to start with the same Swansea XI that played against Birmingham. However, Yates could replace Parker and Allen could be included for a more aggressive midfield. Walsh will be unavailable due to a calf injury, and Ashby's return at right-back is still being evaluated. 

Swansea City Predicted Lineup

Rushworth; Darling, Wood, Humphreys, Tymon; Fulton, Grimes; Parker, Paterson, Cullen; Lowe

Southampton form

Southampton, on the other hand, have been unbeaten in their last 20 games, but have only won one out of their last five away fixtures. Despite this, Martin and his team are confident after their recent 4-0 victories over Walsall and Sheffield Wednesday.Martin might stick with the starting lineup from the 4-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday, with the option to rest players in the final 15 minutes. There is speculation about Adams' future, but he may still feature in the team. Edozie is not expected to recover from his injury until next week, and Aribo is away with Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations. 

Southampton Predicted Lineup

Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Manning; Smallbone, Downes, S. Armstrong; A. Armstrong, Adams, Fraser
