Swansea City host Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) with Vitor Matos believing his side are becoming more "dangerous" in attack. Swansea have scored 28 league goals this season - the sixth lowest tally in the Championship - while their xG is the second lowest in the division according to Opta. Last Saturday's performance in the 1-1 draw against Birmingham offered signs of progress, with Matos describing his team as "sharp" and "aggressive" after they created 19 chances and struck the woodwork three times.
Swansea City host Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) with Vitor Matos believing his side are becoming more "dangerous" in attack.
Swansea have scored 28 league goals this season - the sixth lowest tally in the Championship - while their xG is the second lowest in the division according to Opta.
But the Swans have built momentum under Matos, and head into the Blackburn game having lost only once in five games in all competitions.
Last Saturday's performance in the 1-1 draw against Birmingham offered signs of progress, with Matos describing his team as "sharp" and "aggressive" after they created 19 chances and struck the woodwork three times.
"The most important thing is that we increase our possibilities and probabilities to score," the Swansea head coach said.
"That comes from high press, counter-press, being dominant with the ball, being close to the opposition goal and with balance. I think everyone is taking the right steps.
"We are becoming a dangerous team."
The Swans sit four places and five points above Rovers, who have not won a league match since 20 December and are the third lowest scorers in the second tier.
Swansea's recent record against Blackburn also makes for encouraging reading, with the Welsh side winning four of the past five meetings.
Valerien Ismael's side arrive on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Ipswich, but Matos is refusing to read too much into form.
"This season every team can beat everyone," he said.
"All games are big. It's important everyone is focused, concentrated and with the right mentality and mindset so so we can keep improving."
Marko Stamenic could come into contention to start against Blackburn having been an unused substitute against Birmingham.
The New Zealand international was omitted having missed training last week through illness.
Leading scorer Zan Vipotnik is again likely to start in attack having netted for the 13th time this season against Birmingham.
"We are happy with Vipotnik and the performances he's putting in," Matos said.
"There's still a lot to come from him. The intensity is getting there, and we're happy we can help him develop."
