Swansea City, currently 18th in the league, have shown signs of improvement recently. At home, they have a record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses. Their recent form includes 4 wins in their last 6 league matches. However, their overall defence is a concern due to a high number of goals conceded. West Bromwich, positioned 16th, have struggled on the road, managing only 3 wins and 9 losses. Their recent performance has been inconsistent, with 4 losses in their last 6 games. In their head-to-head record, Swansea City have won 1, drawn 1, and lost 3 of their last 5 meetings with West Bromwich, putting them at a disadvantage. West Bromwich will be missing two forwards due to injuries, potentially affecting their attack. Both teams are closely ranked and have shown alternating wins and losses recently. While Swansea City have home advantage and a higher recent win rate, their head-to-head record is not in their favour. West Bromwich's away form is weak, and their squad is not at full strength, making it uncertain if they can turn things around on the road. The goal total is stable in the 2-2.5 range, with an increase in the higher end of the range, suggesting a cautious approach and limited scoring opportunities. Considering the situation, although Swansea City have home advantage and a higher recent win rate, the odds don't reflect their advantage. The consolidation of West Bromwich's odds and the loosening of Swansea City's odds indicate a slight preference for West Bromwich to avoid defeat. This aligns with West Bromwich's superior head-to-head record. Despite West Bromwich's weak away form and incomplete squad, the current odds offer them sufficient protection. Prediction: West Bromwich -0.
