Swansea City's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with a mix of losses, draws, and a single win against Norwich City at home. They'll be looking to find some consistency, especially after a tough loss to Preston North End. Their style of play has shown resilience, particularly in their ability to come back from behind, as seen in their draw against Charlton Athletic. If they can harness that fighting spirit, they might just pull off a surprise against a strong Ipswich side.

Ipswich Town, on the other hand, have been in decent form, with two wins and a draw in their last five games. Their victory over Queens Park Rangers was particularly impressive, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, their recent draw against Watford might suggest a slight dip in momentum. Still, their solid defensive and offensive play could pose a real challenge for Swansea, especially if they can maintain their intensity throughout the match.

Swansea City's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five games.
