Swansea City is set to host Crawley Town in an EFL Cup match on Tuesday night. Swansea will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Middlesbrough. Meanwhile, Crawley Town is struggling, marked by off-field issues and poor performance.
Swansea's Alan Sheehan aims for a strong response after a shaky summer. The Swans wrapped up the 2024/25 season with momentum. They suffered only one loss in their final eight Championship games. Also, Swansea boasts a strong home record, losing only one match at the Liberty since February, including three straight wins in April.
Crawley Town, demoted to League Two last season, faces internal troubles. They began their League Two campaign with a 3-0 defeat to Crawley. Last weekend saw a 2-1 loss against Newport, raising concerns about their ability to compete in League Two. Their summer ended with a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.
Given the contrasting situations, Swansea City is heavily favored to win this EFL Cup clash. The game is at the Liberty, a ground where they have been dominant. Crawley Town, is dealing with poor form and internal challenges. The Swansea are expected to secure a comfortable victory.
