On Friday evening, two Welsh teams, Swansea and Wrexham, will face off in the 22nd round of the English second-tier league. Both teams are trying to create some gap between them and the danger zone and move closer to the middle of the league table. Swansea are hoping for a third home win in a row following wins over Oxford Utd and Portsmouth, while Wrexham are trying to end their seven-game winless road streak.
H2H stats
These teams last met in the Welsh FAW Premier Cup Finals in 2005 and 2006. In those two games, Swansea were the better team, winning both games with the same result - 2:1. In the 21st century, these teams met five times, with each team winning twice.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals in three out of the last five games, while both teams scored on two occasions.
Swansea team overview
Swansea are playing their eighth consecutive season in the Championship after getting relegated from the Premier League in the 2017/18 season. In the recent four seasons, they have been a mid-table team, constantly between 10th and 15th place, winning between 57 and 66 points. This year, the Swans had an excellent start and were around the playoff spots after the first fifth of the season. However, they were unable to maintain that pace and eventually dropped to 19th place! Now, they are only four points away from the danger zone, and these home games against out-of-form teams are crucial for the popular Swans.
After a 2:1 loss vs Stoke, coach Vítor Matos spoke to the media. He was disappointed with a loss, saying they did not do enough to get something from the match. However, the coach said they had some positive signs in the second half, but they have to improve consistency, focus, and competitiveness as they move forward.

Wrexham team overview
Wrexham blossomed under the new owners, securing three consecutive promotions. However, in the Championship this season, their main goal is to survive and finish as high as possible. The promotion isn't really expected, and they only want to build toward the future and grow as a team. After 15 rounds in the Championship, the Welsh team is in 15th place with 28 points, closer to the playoffs (six points) than the danger zone (nine points).
After a 2:2 draw with Watford, coach Phil Parkinson spoke to the media. The coach had high praise for his players but also the club's owners (Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney), saying their presence lifts the whole place and brings positive energy to the stadium. He also said the players showed character and fought to the end to earn a point.

Prediction
Swansea went under 2.5 goals in two of the last three games. Even in the match they went over the mentioned line (vs Stoke 2:1), we could easily see a low-scoring game considering the teams had a total of 1.71 xG. They also kept a clean sheet in two consecutive home games vs Oxford Utd and Portsmouth.
Wrexham are the best team in the league for this type of bet as 14 out of 21 games ended with fewer than three goals - 67%. And on the road, that number is even higher - currently at 80% (8 out of 10).
Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet like the safest option for this Championship tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Swansea went under 2.5 goals in two of the last three games
- Swansea kept a clean sheet in the last two home games
- Wrexham went under 2.5 goals in eight out of ten road Championship games
- Wrexham scored one goal in the last four road matches
