Prediction published on 14/03/2021, 04:47  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 14/03/2021 at 04:48 in Championship Prediction

Bournemouth stumbled in their push for promotion after losing 3-2 to Barnsley in the last game and they will be hoping for better times when they host fellow promotion chasers Swansea in the next game. Going to this game, the two sides are separated by 13 points. Bournemouth are seventh with 56 points, while Swansea are third with 69 points. The hosts’ promotion chances were left in jeopardy after the loss to Barnsley and they are now four points below the top six. It has been a shaky campaign for Bournemouth and they go here with just four wins in their last 14 matches in the Championship. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last six matches though they’re the second best scorers in the top seven, with 52 goals. Their main problem is in defence. They did beat Watford at home recently but head here with two losses in three Championship matches at home. The Cherries have conceded two or more goals in four of their last six home matches in the Championship.

Swansea are hoping to get the automatic promotion slot, and having a game in hand should favor them. They missed the chance to go above Watford after drawing 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers. They did beat Luton Town 1-0 in their last game though, and head to this clash unbeaten in four matches, with three wins therein. With three losses in 19 matches in all competitions, Swansea will feel they can collect the three points here but they should improve defensively, having kept one clean sheet in the last five matches. They have scored in each of their last 13 matches in the Championship and away from home, they have seven wins in the last 15 in the league. Swansea have won four penalties in the last five matches and Andre Ayew has scored each of them. He has five goals in the last five matches.
