"Swansea might have signed off the 2024/25 campaign in the midst of a real flurry, Alan Sheehan's men eventually finished seven points adrift of punching a play-off ticket. However, despite getting proceedings underway with a close-fought 1-0 loss away at Middlesbrough on August 9th, the Swans have come roaring back in some style. Last seen heading into September's international break with a 2-0 victory away at Sheffield Wednesday, they mark their return on Saturday afternoon smelling the chance to skyrocket their way into the top-six."
"Extending on their EFL Cup adventure on August 26th as they edged past League One outfit Plymouth, Swansea are unbeaten in all of their previous five appearances across all competitions (four wins, one draw). With their purple patch highlighted by a 1-0 win against Sheffield United last month, Sheehan's side have also continued to shine with their performances on home soil. In fact, the play-off dreamers have not suffered a single Championship defeat in front of their own supporters since the middle of March."
Swansea enter the match aiming to find a route into the play-off places and will welcome Hull to South Wales. Alan Sheehan's side finished seven points short of the play-offs last season but have recovered strongly after an opening 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough. Swansea are unbeaten in five across all competitions (four wins, one draw) including EFL Cup progress and a recent 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday. The Swans have not suffered a Championship home defeat since mid-March. Hull secured survival dramatically last season but have lost three of four matches, conceded heavily, and face defensive questions.
