Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea

Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea Preview

Sheffield Wednesday were dealt a disappointing if understandable 2-0 loss at home to Burnley in the Championship action on the weekend, while Swansea City also suffered defeat on the weekend as the Welsh club slipped to a 1-0 loss away from home at Blackburn Rovers so both sides will be keen to return to winning ways at Hillsborough on Tuesday night.

The Yorkshire hosts had previously put together a promising looking three-game unbeaten run in the English second tier as The Owls had registered important wins against the likes of West Brom and Coventry City along with gaining a point in a draw away from home at Bristol City.

Sheffield Wednesday currently occupy 18th place in the Championship table having collected just three wins to date so far this term which included an opening day comprehensive 4-0 rout of Plymouth Argyle and results on home soil at Hillsborough have been pretty steady overall.

Indeed, Sheffield Wednesday have been dealt just three defeats in their last 14 matches overall at home in the Championship and having captured six wins within this period at home as well, The Owls look in a good position to return to winning ways up in Yorkshire on Tuesday night.

Swansea City have had to endure a four-match winless streak in the English second tier in recent weeks as The Swans have suffered two defeats along with being involved in two draws, so this upcoming trip to Hillsborough looks far from easy for the Welsh club despite sitting in 13th place in the table.

Losses at the hands of Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers in recent weeks have been bad enough but to make matters worse, both of these defeats have been handed out to Luke Williams' side away from home as well.

Although Swansea City had previously picked up wins against Norwich City and Coventry City respectively in recent weeks, the bigger picture shows the Welsh visitors have managed to claim maximum points on just three occasions within their last 12 matches overall in the Championship.

An earlier win against Preston NE in a 3-0 victory in the early stages of this season's campaign gave Swansea City a decent start but having also slipped to five defeats within these previous 12 games suggests Swansea City could have their work cut out here.

Results away from home have also been pretty disappointing from Swansea City's point of view as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their last 11 outings on the road while also being handed six defeats in the process, so this upcoming trip looks like being a tough assignment for the Welsh outfit.
