Bitesize Prediction: Swansea City vs Hull City – 13/09/25

Competition: Championship

Market: Swansea City win

Odds: 17/20 @ 1xBet

Looking to find a route into the play-off places on Saturday afternoon, Swansea will welcome Hull to the South Wales.

Starting with this hosts, while Swansea might have signed off the 2024/25 campaign in the midst of a real flurry, Alan Sheehan’s men eventually finished seven points adrift of punching a play-off ticket. However, despite getting proceedings underway with a close-fought 1-0 loss away at Middlesbrough on August 9th, the Swans have come roaring back in some style. Last seen heading into September’s international break with a 2-0 victory away at Sheffield Wednesday, they mark their return on Saturday afternoon smelling the chance to skyrocket their way into the top-six. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure on August 26th as they edged past League One outfit Plymouth, Swansea are unbeaten in all of their previous five appearances across all competitions (four wins, one draw). With their purple patch highlighted by a 1-0 win against Sheffield United last month, Sheehan’s side have also continued to shine with their performances on home soil. In fact, the play-off dreamers have not suffered a single Championship defeat in front of their own supporters since the middle of March.

As for the visitors, although Hull might have eventually clung to their Championship status in the most dramatic of fashion last season, the Tigers appear destined for another relegation scrap this time around. Despite landing an action-packed 3-2 victory when they met Oxford United back on August 17th, Sergej Jakirovic’s side have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen heading into September’s international break with a 4-2 defeat against Bristol City, Saturday’s guests have lost three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Suffering EFL Cup heartbreak last month away at Championship returners Wrexham, Hull have shown some major defensive issues. Coming under serious scrutiny on August 23rd as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Blackburn, the former Dinamo Zagreb boss has some mounting pressure on his shoulders at the MKM Stadium. Given what has been a huge gulf in class between Saturday’s opponents, we are backing a home win this weekend.
