Coventry have won just one of their last four league matches
Swansea defeated Wrexham 2-1 last time out in the Championship
Recommended bet: Coventry to win and both teams to score
Coventry dropped more points last weekend, this time against Southampton, so heading into their Boxing Day clash with Swansea, their lead at the top of the Championship stands at six points.
A few weeks ago, the Sky Blues were 10 points clear but Middlesbrough have clawed back some of the deficit.
Swansea are on a decent run of form lately, winning three of their previous four league matches.
This run has them 19th in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone heading into Christmas.

Team news
Frank Lampard will be without Oliver Dovin and Brandon Thomas-Asante due to injury.
Left-back Jay Dasilva is suspended, which means the leaders will have to rejig their defence.
Swansea will be without the services of Benson Manuel, who is away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations with Angola over the festive period.
Aside from that, Vitor Matos has a full-strength squad to pick from as the Swans aim to continue their solid run of form.
The stats
Since 2020, the head-to-head stats are in favour of Swansea, who have won four of the 10 matches between the two sides.
Coventry have emerged victorious on just one occasion during that period and that came at the start of 2025.
Seven of those 10 games featured both teams scoring, while over 2.5 goals would have landed in five of the clashes.
This season, Coventry lead the Championship scoring charts with 53 goals across their opening 22 matches.
Swansea have scored just 24 goals from the same number of matches.
Defensively, only one team has conceded fewer than the Sky Blues’ 23 goals, while the away side have conceded 30 times this season.
Both teams have scored in seven of Coventry’s previous 10 Championship matches.

Prediction
Coventry’s indifferent recent form will be of concern to Lampard over the festive period, but they still retain a healthy lead at the top.
The Sky Blues must be wary of a Swansea side who have lost just once across their previous four matches in the second tier.
Despite that, home advantage could prove to be a decisive factor. Lampard’s men have yet to taste defeat at home throughout this season and another win here could extend their advantage at the top.
