The stats
Swansea have won each of their last three league games against Derby, as many as in their previous 17 against the Rams (drawing seven and losing seven).
Derby have won just one of their last eight away league games against Swansea (drawing three and losing four), losing three in a row since a 3-2 triumph in February 2020.
Having been unbeaten at home in the league between April and September (winning four and drawing four), Swansea have lost three of their four at home since the start of October.
Derby have won their last two away league games, last winning three in a row in the Championship back in July 2020.

Prediction
Swansea have picked up just a point out of the last available 12 and so fans will be hoping that Vitor Matos can make an immediate impact to get the club going in the right direction.
Having won just three games since September, Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Bristol City, their third on the bounce, saw the Swans drop to 20th, just four points above the drop zone.
Home advantage counts for little when enduring such a torrid run and can in fact add more pressure if the fanbase grows more disgruntled.
On Tuesday, Swansea take on a Derby side who had won five straight matches before Saturday when Eustace’s men conceded two goals in the last five minutes to lose 3-2 at home to Watford.
The Rams will have the confidence they can bounce back at the first time of asking, although they may be depleted up front after the Championship’s joint-top scorer Carlton Morris had to go off just 18 minutes into the game with the Hornets at the weekend.
With a potential "new-manager bounce" and the visitors without their top striker, a draw may well be the likeliest result with a point helping both navigate their respective bumps in the road.
