Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea

Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea Preview

Sheffield Wednesday slumped to a second defeat on the trot prior to the international break when The Owls were handed a comprehensive and demoralising 6-0 thrashing away from home at Ipswich Town so it will be interesting to see how the Yorkshire club respond to that latest setback on Good Friday while Swansea City not only grabbed all three points in their last game but also took the bragging rights following a 2-0 home win over fierce local rivals, Cardiff City.

Sheffield Wednesday had previously slipped to a 2-0 defeat in the recent Yorkshire derby to Leeds United beforehand which has dumped The Owls back down into the bottom three of the Championship table but it is getting so tight in the race to avoid relegation now as only three points separate 17th placed Blackburn Rovers from third from bottom club, Huddersfield Town.

Sheffield Wednesday had previously racked up four impressive and desperately needed wins in the Championship by way of victories over Millwall, Bristol City, Rotherham United and Plymouth Argyle respectively which had seemingly placed Danny Rohl's side in a good position to escape the drop.

However, having conceded a total of eight goals in their last two games, Sheffield Wednesday will need to get back to the drawing board if they're to get anything from this upcoming clash.

Swansea City headed into the international break brimming with confidence after seeing off local rivals Cardiff City in the Welsh derby with a solid 2-0 home win and The Swans will be looking for more of the same when they make their way up to Hillsborough for this Good Friday encounter against lowly Sheffield Wednesday.

However, despite currently occupying a relatively safe 15th place in the Championship table prior to this weekend's fixtures, only seven points separate Swansea City from the relegation zone so the Welsh visitors know they need to continue picking up points to ensure they don't get dragged down into the relegation battle below them.

Following a worryingly poor sequence of results beforehand which produced just the one win from their preceding seven games and slipping to five defeats along the way as well, Swansea City have turned things around in recent times in the Championship as the visitors have lost just once in their subsequent five games overall.

A 1-0 loss away from home at Bristol City has been outweighed by picking up three wins against Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City respectively and this is likely to give The Swans a welcome boost ahead of the Easter period.
