A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: Swansea.com Stadium
Saturday 21st February 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)
Swansea City will return to their Swansea.com Stadium for Saturday lunchtime’s encounter with Bristol City no doubt keen to bounce back from a previous 2-0 defeat away from home at Derby County last weekend.
The Welsh club had previously captured three wins from their preceding four games in the Championship as The Swans secured important victories against the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Watford and Sheffield Wednesday which have helped Vitor Matos’ side steer clear of any relegation battles for the time being.
Within their last seven matches in the Championship, Swansea City have suffered just two defeats, both of which were away from home and includes an earlier 2-1 loss away at Hull City but an overall home record of 8-4-4 24/18 shows The Swans have been tough to beat on home soil this term.
Bristol City occupy 9th place in the Championship table and within one point of the play-off pack ahead of this weekend’s fixtures in the domestic second tier as Gerhard Struber’s side look to make in-roads into the top six on Saturday lunchtime.
However, this may be easier said than done as The Robins have registered just two wins in their last seven league matches with victories gained over Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City but also includes being dealt losses at the hands of Preston NE, Ipswich Town and Derby County.
An inconsistent looking away record of 6-4-5 18/18 hasn’t done Bristol City any favours on the road this season and the west country outfit may struggle to gain the upper hand over a fairly reliable Swansea City side here.
The Betting Verdict
Swansea City look to hold the edge over their visitors in this upcoming encounter.
The Pick :
Swansea City 2-1 Bristol City
