The Swans season reaches it’s 44th league match on Tuesday evening with the rescheduled game against Bournemouth who are looking to cement their place within the division’s top two teams and move within touching distance of a return to the Premier League.
It will be the 63rd meeting between the two sides with Bournemouth holding a small advantage in terms of wins (26-23 in their favour) but it is the recent form in meetings between the two sides that tells a slightly different story.
The Swans are no wins in ten against their South coast opponents, their last win coming back in 2007 when Roberto Martinez side triumphed 4-1 in their league winning season.
Since then the Swans have drawn 4 and lost 6 of their last ten meetings and, possibly worse than that, have not scored a goal against Bournemouth in their last seven meetings (2 draws, 5 defeats) and conceded 13 goals in those five defeats.
It will be little wonder off the back of that run of form that Bournemouth will arrive in SA1 as favourites for the game despite the Swans current eight match unbeaten run and certainly off the back of a 4-0 win at the Vitality Stadium when the two sides met earlier in the season.
Of course though, we as Swansea fans know that records are there to be broken and what better time to break that ten match streak?
