Swansea City and Middlesbrough meet at Swansea.com Stadium, Swansea on Saturday, May 1 at 1:30 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Championship. Just 1 point separate them in the standings.

Swansea City come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Middlesbrough travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
