Swansea City Team News
Swansea City doesn’t have continuity this season and that’s the main problem for their manager Russell Martin. They often play in series – one win in seven, then seven wins in nine, and again eight games without a win etc.
Because of that they are 11th in the Championship with 38 points and 10 wins after 27 rounds. They are only three points behind the top 6 zone, and they have a very realistic chance to catch a place in the playoffs, but they need continuity.
Since the middle of October, Swansea has only two wins in all competitions. Two wins in 12 games. Their manager Russell Martin has the philosophy to play possession-based football and that sometimes brings three points, but often not.
Swansea has only one clean sheet in the last seven games and also failed to score in only one game from the last seven. They know how to create chances but also struggle to save their goal. Their defence is one of the problems because even when the opponent has a red card or a few shot on goal they usually score and Swansea easily get into trouble.
They scored 39 goals and only three teams have a better attack than them, but with 37 goals conceded they have the sixth-worst defence in the league.
Bristol City Team News
Bristol City is very similar to Swansea. The difference is that Bristol doesn’t want to have the ball and to play on possession. They also have good attack and awful defence.
Bristol goes into this season with high hopes. They want to finish in the top 12 and maybe be in contention for the playoffs. But they are struggling with results since September. They started the season very well in the first month and a half but after that, the problems starts to appear.
Just like Swansea, Bristol has two wins in the last 13 games, since the middle of October. They kept only one clean sheet in the last seven games and failed to score in two of the last seven games.
They scored 36 goals and only six teams scored more but with 37 goals conceded they have the sixth-worst defence in the league. Bristol has only two clean sheets away from home this season.

Swansea City vs Bristol City Prediction
The winner of this tie will play against WBA or Chesterfield in the next 4th round of the FA Cup. Both clubs see that as an opportunity to progress in the cup and because of that they will try to win this game.
Swansea and Bristol City are two very similar teams. They know to score goals but struggle on the other end to keep a clean sheet. Their recent history shows that almost every time when these two clubs are playing goals on both sides are a safe bet.
