Southampton is set to travel to South Wales to take on Swansea City this Saturday, aiming for a victory that would get them to the second position in the Championship standings. While Russell Martin’s current team is eyeing automatic promotion, his former club requires maximum points to re-enter the race for a spot in the playoffs. Much of the pre-match discussion will likely revolve around Martin’s return, but Swansea, led by Luke Williams, is focused on just the third game under his management.

Swansea has only suffered one defeat in their last six fixtures across all competitions. In the Championship, they’ve experienced only two losses in their last nine games. However, they currently find themselves seven points behind the sixth spot, desperately in need of a winning streak. The feasibility of achieving that against a team enjoying a 20-game undefeated streak remains to be seen, but Swansea is undoubtedly motivated to outperform their former manager.

Russell Martin has demonstrated that his move to Southampton aligns perfectly with his management style, and their relentless performance suggests a more likely immediate return to the Premier League. Despite registering nine consecutive wins at St Mary’s in all competitions, Southampton has managed only one victory in their last five away fixtures. Additionally, they have scored just 16 goals in 13 away league games during the 2023-24 season. Nonetheless, Martin and his players carry confidence from recent 4-0 victories over Walsall and Sheffield Wednesday into this upcoming match.
