Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers prediction, preview, team news and more ~ EFL Championship 2020-21

Swansea City aim to consolidate their promotion hopes against bottom-side Wycombe Wanderers at the Liberty Stadium in Championship action on Saturday.

The Swans are third in the league table with 75 points, seven off second-placed Watford, and three clear of Brentford, who have a game in hand over them.

Even though a direct place in the Premier League seems unlikely, Steve Cooper's side are aiming to at least go into the playoffs. That is something they haven't achieved since getting relegated in 2018.

Things are the polar opposite in their rival camp as Wycombe are counting down the days before their relegation from the Championship is confirmed.

The debutants have endured a torrid campaign so far, winning only eight games all season and losing 24 times. They sit nine points adrift of safety with just five games left in the season.

The Chairboys managed to give their fans something to cheer about by winning back-to-back games at the start of the month. However, the loss to Luton Town last weekend brought them back down to earth.

Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers Head-To-Head

There have been 15 previous meetings between the sides, with Swansea winning seven but losing to Wycombe six times.

The Welsh outfit also secured a 2-0 victory over Wycombe earlier this season, their second consecutive league win against them.
