SWANSEA, Wales (Interstat) — Swansea City AFC hosts Charlton Athletic on Saturday, May 2, in a Championship clash that pits two sides with contrasting recent trajectories against each other at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Swansea enters the match following a 1-1 draw at Norwich City on April 25, a result that extended a mixed run of form. The Swans have managed two wins, two draws and a loss in their last five outings, including a 2-1 victory at Queens Park Rangers on April 21 and a 1-0 win over Leicester City on April 11. However, defensive consistency has been an issue. Prior to the Norwich draw, Swansea played to a 2-2 tie with Middlesbrough and a 3-3 thriller at Sheffield United, highlighting a vulnerability that Charlton could exploit.

Charlton Athletic arrives on a high after a 2-1 home win over Hull City on April 25. That victory snapped a four-match winless streak, during which the Addicks had managed two draws and two losses. The win over Hull was Charlton’s first since a 1-0 triumph at Middlesbrough on March 11. Prior to that, the team had struggled for goals, scoring just once in three consecutive draws against Watford (1-1), Sheffield Wednesday (1-1) and Oxford United (1-1).

The most recent head-to-head meeting, on Nov. 1, 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw at The Valley, with both sides sharing the spoils. That result extended a pattern of tight encounters between the clubs. Saturday’s rematch could follow a similar script.

A simulator run by Interstat projects a 1-1 final score, reflecting the even nature of the matchup. For Swansea, reliance on scoring first has been critical. They have secured points in games where they generated multiple goals, but the team’s defense has allowed 11 goals in its last six matches. Charlton, meanwhile, has leaned on a more frugal approach away from home, keeping clean sheets in three of their last five road games, including the win at Middlesbrough and a 1-0 victory at Birmingham City on March 7.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
