Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the Championship table, Swansea will host Sheffield Wednesday from behind closed doors on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, making a return to winning ways, Swansea have made it clear that they are desperate to at least secure themselves another play-off finish this season. In their 12 Championship contests so far this year, they have recorded six wins, four draws and two defeats, scoring 14 and conceding seven in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 22 and opening the midweek fixtures sat in fourth and just a single point adrift of the automatic spots, it should be noted that Swansea hold the best defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Wednesday’s hosts have lost just one of their last seven Championship contests on the bounce. However, it is also worth highlighting, each of those seven appearances have finished with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, still enduring what has been a worrying run of form, Sheffield Wednesday find themselves firmly battling it out at the foot of the Championship table. In their opening 12 second-tier contests so far this year, they have recorded three wins, three draws and six defeats, scoring six and conceding 11 in return. After their points deduction at the start of the season, the Owls find themselves sat with a points tally of six and now sat three points adrift of safety. Also holding the joint-worst attacking record in the division, the midweek guests have also managed to win just one of their last seven Championship contests on the bounce. With each of their last four straight contests also finishing with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome in Wales this week.
