Today’s Championship fixture between Leicester City and Swansea City will pass a lot of people by despite the fact the Foxes desperately need a win to help them get out of relegation trouble. Then there’s another issue …

Swansea as a football club haven’t won at Leicester City since the 28th October 1950. That’s before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 2nd and just a year after the formation of NATO. The result that day was a 2-3 scoreline in favour of Swansea. It’s incredible to think that history hasn’t provided us with even one more victory in Leicester.

⚽️ Recent facts : Leicester are going through a tough spell, failing to win in 15 of their last 16 matches. In their most recent five games, they've managed just one victory, alongside three draws and a loss. The Foxes concede more than they score, with an average of 1.54 goals allowed per match compared to just 1.32 scored. This often results in dropped points even against mid-table opponents.

⚽️ Recent facts : Swansea are showing more consistent form compared to Leicester. While their recent form isn't perfect-with one win and two losses in their last five matches-they still possess the potential to pick up points on the road. The Swans' average scoring rate is similar to the hosts' at 1.2 goals per match, but they concede fewer goals, averaging 1.32. This gives them a slight edge heading into the clash with the underdogs.
