Match Details
- Date: 2025-10-18
- Time: 11:30 AM UTC
- Location: St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton, England
Game Overview
Southampton, sitting 17th in the Championship, hosts Swansea City, currently 12th. Both teams have shown inconsistent form, but Southampton's recent performances at St. Mary's—including a dominant 5-0 win in their last league meeting—carry significant weight. Swansea, while competitive away, faces a historical deficit in this fixture.
Key Factors to Consider
- Both teams are mid-table, but Southampton has shown flashes of quality, especially at home. Swansea have won two away games, however, indicating some resilience on the road. Recent form is mixed for both, with neither showing a clear edge in current season performance.
- Southampton have a commanding H2H record: P36, W24, D6, L6, with a +45 goal differential and five wins in the last seven meetings[1]. Swansea’s last three trips to St. Mary’s ended in lost causes, including a 5-0 thrashing[3].
- No detailed injury data available in current results. Top scorers for Southampton include Adam Armstrong (3 goals), and Swansea's Žan Vipotnik (4 goals)[5]. Discipline stats: both teams have collected significant cards, but no suspensions are confirmed.
- No immediate external disruptions. Venue stats favor Southampton, especially given recent history and crowd influence.
- Both teams need points to avoid slipping further down the table, but Southampton will be motivated by their home H2H dominance and need for a mid-season push.
