Saturday’s match against Hull City will tell us if Swansea City can rise above the relegation zone in the Championship standings with kickoff at 2:30 pm.
Swansea City has not scored more than once in a Championship game since the beginning of February.
However, head coach Russell Martin has been working hard with his players on the training ground and will be hoping to see some results.
Swansea has won just two of their last 15 matches by 1-0 scorelines and faces a busy schedule before the World Cup.
To their credit, they have improved in recent games, collecting four points from Stoke City and QPR before losing to Sheffield United on penalties at home.
Nevertheless, they are the second lowest scorers in the division and have only netted more than once in a game on one occasion in 11 outings.
Hull City depends on striker Oscar Estupinan, who has contributed seven of the club’s 11 goals in League One this season.
However, he has not scored since September, and Hull has lost their last three matches against Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield United, and Stoke City by a combined scoreline of 8-0.
The new owners brought in Shota Arveladze as manager at the start of 2022; however, he’s only won 14 games in 29 matches.

Swansea City Team News
Although Martin is unlikely to change his starting lineup for this match, there could be changes in the final third, with Olivier Ntcham and Jamie Paterson both in contention for recalls. After missing out on a transfer to Burnley, Michael Obafemi is unlikely to return to the starting lineup at this stage.
Hull City Team News
The Hull squad has had more time to train together recently, so Chelsea loan duo Xavier Simons and Harvey Vale could be in line for a place on the bench. Fellow new arrival Dimitris Pelkas may also be used as a substitute, while Cyrus Christie could get a second start at right wing-back.
Prediction and Odds
Hull City are giving up a lot of goals these days, and Swansea City could take advantage of their ineptitude at the back.
- Draw
- Double Chance
