Fleetwood Town U21 vs Swansea City U21: match prediction on 18 September 2026

The model gives Swansea a 2.2 xG against Fleetwood's 1.3, and the head-to-head record over five meetings shows Swansea with three victories to Fleetwood's two, including a 1-0 away win on 14 April 2026, a 3-1 home victory for Fleetwood on 20 August 2024, a 6-0 win for Swansea at Fleetwood on 15 September 2024, and a 4-0 home win on 8 April 2024.

The two sides arrive level on points. Both have played four matches, won two, lost two, and sit seven and eight respectively with six points each. Swansea's record of 2-0-2 matches Fleetwood's 2-0-2 exactly, but Swansea have drawn one of their last five; Fleetwood have lost three. Swansea sit seventh on goal difference after eight goals in five; Fleetwood are eighth, nine adrift.

Fleetwood score heavily in the opening 15 minutes (30% of their 30 goals) and in the final 15 (27%), but they are vulnerable in the middle periods when conceding. Swansea are strongest between 31-60 minutes when they score 40% of their 47 goals, but they concede 27% of their 37 goals in the closing 15 minutes. Swansea's defensive weakness late in games could be exploited by Fleetwood's tendency to finish strongly.

The model's most likely scoreline is 1:2 to Swansea at 10%, followed by 1:1 at 9% and 0:2 at 7%. BTTS sits at 65%, and 3 or more goals at 67%.

The draw probability of 21% represents the main alternative outcome.
