Swansea City vs Derby County Prediction and Betting Tips

Swansea City play host to Derby County at the Swansea.com Stadium in round 17 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday. The Swans head into the game on a run of three consecutive victories against the visitors and will be looking to extend their recent dominance in this fixture.

Swansea City failed to stop the rot last Saturday as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Bristol City when the two teams squared off at the Ashton Gate Stadium.

The Swans have now failed to taste victory in five straight matches across all competitions (1D 4L), and have managed just one win in eight games since the start of October.

This dire run of results has seen Swansea City plunge into 20th place in the Championship table, level on points with 19th-placed Portsmouth and just four points above the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Derby County were left red-faced at the weekend when they fell to a 3-2 home defeat against Watford after relinquishing a two-goal lead in the second half.

Prior to that, the Rams were on a five-game winning streak in the league, their longest run of consecutive league victories since also picking up five straight wins in League One between December 2022 and January 2023.

With 23 points from 16 matches, Derby County are currently 12th in the EFL Championship table, but could move level on points with fourth-placed Bristol City with a win on Tuesday.
