Championship: West Bromwich Albion vs Swansea City
At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 1, 2022, the 35th round of the Championship, West Bromwich Albion will face Swansea at home. West Bromwich Albion this season relegated to the Championship, the team did not know the shame, the results showed a trend of high and low, after 33 rounds of league, achieved 12 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, ranked 13th in the league with 46 points, and the promotion play-off area has been as many as 8 points, if the remaining schedule can not actively grab points, the team will not have the opportunity to upgrade. From the data point of view, West Bromwich Albion scored 35 goals in 33 league rounds, conceded 30 goals, and the offensive and defensive performance was average.
West Bromwich Albion's recent results have been very poor, with six consecutive games without winning, five of which have been defeated. The team played away to Middlesbrough in the last round of the league, with a 43% possession rate, 8 shots and 2 shots on target, although Morumbi's goal temporarily achieved the leading position on the field, but the good times were not long, in the second half due to the negligence of the back line, it was successfully scored by the opponent for 2 consecutive times, and finally the opponent reversed the game 2-1. It is worth noting that West Bromwich Albion has a decent home record this season, with 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in 15 league home games, and its home home ranking is away from the league.
Swansea ranked 4th in the Championship last season, but unfortunately fell at the feet of Brentford in the promotion play-offs, and had no chance to rush into the Premier League, and after entering this season, the team's performance was obviously unbearable, after 31 rounds of league, achieved 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses, ranking 17th in the league with 38 points, although there is no relegation pressure at present, but basically has no chance to return to the top 6, in the remaining schedule, I am afraid it is more to play the role of "playing soy sauce".
Swansea's recent performance has been very jumpy, the team last round of league away to Sheffield United, 61% possession, 6 shots on goal, 2 shots on target, only half of the opponent's number of shots, unfortunately, the team not only did not achieve anything, but also the door opened, 4 consecutive times by the opponent to break the goal, and finally swept by the opponent 0-4, this defeat has affected the morale of the team. It is worth noting that Swansea's away results this season have been even worse, with 3 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats in 16 league games, and its away games rank 21st in the league.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, West Bromwich Albion have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3 in the last 10 matches against Swansea, the past advantage is not obvious, and the first leg of the season is 1-2 away to the opponent. In terms of recent developments, West Bromwich Albion have been in very poor form recently, having not won six consecutive games, while Swansea's recent results have not been satisfactory, and the team's away results are even more ugly.
