Match preview: Middlesbrough vs Swansea

Middlesbrough and Swansea meet at Riverside Stadium in the first round of the Championship. Historically, the home side has an advantage, with five consecutive wins in their last five clashes at this venue. In their most recent encounter here on 10 August 2024, Middlesbrough prevailed 1-0, thanks to a goal from Emmanuel Latte Lath (25’). The home advantage could prove crucial, as both teams show significant disparities in their performance at home versus away.

Team analysis: Middlesbrough

This match marks the home team’s first outing in this season’s competition, after finishing last season in 10th place. Middlesbrough tends to perform better at home; in their last 30 matches, they have recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses as visitors, whereas at home, they have achieved 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses. Recently, they drew 2-2 in a friendly against Rangers. Over their last 10 home games, Middlesbrough has secured 5 victories, 1 draw, and lost 4 times. However, their defence has been leaky, allowing goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, indicating areas that require improvement. In 15 games, they’ve managed to overturn a scoreline in only 1 instance when conceding first.

Middlesbrough enters this match following a 2-2 draw against Deportivo La Coruña in a friendly. The home team typically employs a 4-3-3 tactical formation, focusing on offensive transitions. In this set-up, Delano Burgzorg, Tommy Conway, and Finn Azaz are likely to lead the attack, while Hayden Hackney orchestrates their offensive plays. They will be without Darragh Lenihan and Riley McGree due to injury concerns.

Team analysis: Swansea

The visiting side begins their campaign in this season’s competition after finishing in 11th place last year. They tend to be affected by playing away from home, with recent statistics showing 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, netting 11 goals while conceding 27. At home, however, they have been stronger, achieving 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded. Their last match was a 1-0 defeat against Exeter City in a friendly. Over their last 10 away matches, Swansea recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 defeats. They have shown a consistently productive attack, scoring in 8 of their last 10 matches. Historically, their away games feature lower scoring, with 12 of the last 25 ending with under 1.5 goals. In 15 games, they have never recovered after conceding first.

The Swansea City team heads into the match after suffering a 3-1 loss in a friendly against Lorient. The visitors usually adopt a 5-2-3 tactical system, relying on quick offensive transitions and using their wings effectively to create goal-scoring opportunities. Key players in the attack include Ji-Sung Eom, Ronald, and Zan Vipotnik, while Josh Tymon adds depth on the left flank. Unfortunately, they will be without Ricardo Santos, Ben Cabango, and Filip Lissah, all sidelined due to injuries.
