Match Prediction: Swansea City 2-1 Leicester City

Swansea City's recent league form suggests they could pose a threat to Leicester City. With two wins and two draws in their last five league matches, Swansea have shown they can compete against strong opposition.

Their ability to score in four out of five games indicates a potent attack, which could trouble Leicester's defence. However, their loss to Birmingham City shows they can be vulnerable, and Leicester will look to exploit this.

Leicester City have been less convincing than their opponents, drawing four out of their last five league games. Their only win came against Birmingham City, which might give them some confidence. 

The Foxes’ struggle to secure victories could be a concern, especially against a Swansea side that has been more consistent. The match could be closely contested, with both teams having moments of dominance.

Swansea City's recent league form has been solid, with two wins and two draws in their last five matches. Their ability to score in most games suggests they have a reliable attacking threat. 

The draw against Millwall and the win against Sheffield Wednesday show they can perform well at home, which could be crucial in this match. However, the loss to Birmingham City indicates they need to be more defensively solid to secure a win against Leicester.

• Win: 2-1 vs Blackburn Rovers (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Millwall (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Birmingham City (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Hull City (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)

Leicester City's recent form has been inconsistent, with four draws in their last five Championship games. Their inability to convert draws into wins could be a concern heading into this match.

The draw against Wrexham at home and the win against Birmingham City show they can be competitive, but they need to find a way to secure more victories. Leicester's defence will have to be at its best to handle Swansea's attacking threat.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Wrexham (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs West Bromwich Albion (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Coventry City (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Birmingham City (H)

However, Swansea have had success in the past, winning 2-0 and 1-0 in 2010. This suggests that while Leicester have the upper hand recently, Swansea are capable of causing an upset.

• Predicted lineup: Vigouroux, Key, Cabango, Burgess, Tymon, Franco, Stamenic, Galbraith, Benson, Vipotnik, Inoussa

• Predicted lineup: Stolarczyk, Choudhury, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen, Winks, James, Fatawu, Cordova-Reid, Monga, Ayew

Leicester's predicted lineup indicates a strategy to control the midfield with Winks and James, while relying on Fatawu to provide a threat in attack.

• Vipotnik vs Faes: This will be a key battle between Swansea's forward Vipotnik and Leicester's defender Faes, with Vipotnik looking to exploit any gaps in the defence.

• Key vs Monga: The duel between Swansea's Key and Leicester's Monga could be crucial, with both players likely to influence the flow of the game.

• Galbraith(Swansea City): Galbraith's role in midfield will be vital for Swansea, as he looks to control the tempo and distribute the ball effectively.

• Fatawu(Leicester City): Fatawu's creativity and finishing ability make him a key player for Leicester, as he aims to break through Swansea's defence and score.
