Statistical Preview: Derby County vs. Swansea City

Swansea City is expected to be recovering from their 4-3 defeat against Leeds United on Sunday, where they conceded an added-time winner. As they prepare to visit Derby County in the East Midlands on Wednesday, the team aims to prevent a third successive league loss. In contrast to Swansea’s recent downturn following consecutive losses, Derby County, known as the Rams, have maintained an unbeaten streak of three league matches. This run includes a 1-1 draw at Preston North End on Saturday, where Jerry Yates, a forward on loan from Swansea, scored a headed equalizer. Jerry Yates will not participate in the match against his parent club. Nevertheless, Derby will be looking to extend their three-game unbeaten home record despite his absence. Derby County has not secured a victory in their last three league encounters with Swansea City, recording one draw and two losses. Their most recent win against Swansea was a 2-0 result in December 2020, achieved under manager Wayne Rooney.

Their previous away league victory against Derby was a 1-0 win in February 2010, managed by Paulo Sousa.
