At least one side has kept a clean sheet in 13 of the last 14 league meetings between Swansea and Cardiff – the only match to see both teams score in this run was a 3-2 win for the Swans in April 2023.
Swansea have won five of their previous seven home league games (L2), including last time out against Preston North End, winning 3-0.
Cardiff have lost each of their last four league games; they last endured a longer such run in October 2021 (8 games). Indeed, along with Preston, they are the only other Championship side without a league goal this term.
Swansea City’s Azeem Abdulai has scored in back-to-back appearances in all competitions, while the 21-year-old could be the Swan’s youngest scorer in a South Wales derby since 19-year-old Ben Wilmot in October 2019.
