FootyMad's prediction ...
FootyMad see this game edging towards a narrow win for the U's, as the Swans have been none too clever on the road in recent matches. Home win
Swans MAD comment...
Big game for Kenny and the boys. Now time to start answering some of the criticism that has been snowballing in recent weeks. Realistically though, four points from this weekend would be acceptable - so a draw would be a decent result.
