Swansea (home)
- Swansea are unbeaten in their last five games (W3, D2).
- Vítor Matos has certainly hit a rich vein of form since taking over as head coach of Swansea City on 24th November 2025.
- He has played with a very free-flowing 4-3-3 system where the ball dominates, there is progressive build-up play, but the Swans also do a lot of high pressing to keep the tempo at their pace.
- In their most recent outing, they beat Watford 2-0 at home, before a 0-0 draw with Wrexham kept the momentum going at Swansea.com Stadium.
Burnley (away)
- Burnley are winless in their last five matches (D1, L4).
- Burnley have made an awful start to the Championship 2026/2027 campaign and are at the bottom of the standings in 24th place having picked up just two points in their five matches to date.
- Nicky Hayen took over on 10th July 2026 and he has got his Burnley set up to be flexible in the sense that they can play either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 system.
- They have scored an average of 1.00 goals per game away from home in the Championship 2026/2027, which hasn't been enough to stop the slide for Hayen and his men.
Home
Adam Idah is the leading scorer for the home side in the Championship 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 5 appearances .
Away
Zian Flemming has been Burnley's most dangerous player this season, with 2 goals in 2 Championship 2026/2027 matches, and will be their main threat on Saturday.
