EFL Championship action continues with relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday taking on promotion-chasing Swansea City at the Hillsborough Stadium.
The Owls are in second-last spot in the standings as a result of a dismal points tally of 35 points from 40 matches. Swansea City, on the other hand, occupy the fourth position courtesy of 72 points from the same number of games.
Sheffield Wednesday will go into Tuesday's game on the back of an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of QPR. That was preceded by an impressive 5-0 win over Cardiff City. Swansea City won their last fixture in convincing fashion, handing Milwall a 0-3 home loss.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea City Head-to-Head
Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City have played 11 games between them in which the former has only won one game. Swansea City have prevailed in four of those matches, with six games ending in stalemates.
The last match between the two Championship sides ended in a 1-1 draw. Andre Ayew's 60th-minute goal canceled out Adam Reach's 27th-minute strike to help Swansea City gain a point that day.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea City Team News

Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore has no injury concerns for Tuesday's encounter and will have the full squad available for selection.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea City Predicted XIs
Sheffield Wednesday (3-4-1-2): Joe Wildsmith; Osaze Urhoghide, Tom Lees, Julian Borner; Liam Palmer, Sam Hutchinson, Barry Bannan, Adam Reach; Josh Windass; Callum Paterson, Jordan Rhodes
Swansea City (4-3-3): Freddie Woodman; Kyle Naughton, Ryan Bennett, Marc Guehi, Ryan Manning; Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes, Conor Hourihane; Andre Ayew, Wayne Routledge, Jamal Lowe
Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea City Prediction
Swansea City's position in the table suggests that Steve Cooper's men should not have any difficulty in sealing three points on Tuesday.
Their recent form has been a concern, but star players like Wayne Routledge and Conor Hourihane's pedigree should come to the fore. We expect Swansea City to win this encounter.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Swansea City
