Swansea City vs Blackburn Rovers: match statistics
Swansea City displays decidedly better home form with a 43% win rate and a neutral goal difference at their own stadium, whereas Blackburn Rovers suffers from poor away form with only 38% wins and a -2 goal difference. The hosts have averaged 1.6 points per game in their last 5 outings, compared to just 0.6 for the visitors, who are winless in that period. Swansea dominates in possession (56% vs 49%) and shot efficiency, also boasting a superior xG in home matches (1.41 vs 1.36 for the visitors away). Blackburn has a very high rate of failing to score away (46%), which could be decisive against a solid home defense (29% clean sheets). Considering all statistics, Swansea City holds a clear advantage, although the unimpressive overall form of both sides increases the probability of a draw.
