Marko Stamenić wants Swansea City to bring the belief behind their comeback against Norwich into Tuesday’s trip to Millwall. Swansea recovered from a first-half deficit to win 2–1 on Saturday, with Moussa Yeo and Adam Idah scoring after the break. “We showed great character to bounce back again,” the midfielder told the club. He said the squad believed it could turn games around after conceding, while acknowledging that The Den presents another difficult test.

The Norwich numbers behind the comeback

API-Football records Swansea with 57% possession and eight shots on target against Norwich’s five. Both sides had 12 shots in total, so the distinction in that match was the share of attempts that tested the goalkeeper rather than a larger overall shot count. The same provider gives Swansea 2.25 expected goals against Norwich’s 0.67. That is a model estimate of chance quality in one game, not a prediction of what will happen at Millwall. The figures come from the Norwich fixture’s matchStats record.

Millwall host Swansea at The Den on Tuesday 13 October, with kick-off at 7.45pm UK time. Swansea say the match will be shown live on Sky Sports+ in the UK. Swans TV Live video is available in most international regions, subject to the EFL’s local rights arrangements. The club says its video stream is unavailable in the UK and Nordic territories.
