Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea prediction and betting tips on March 29, 2024
One of the matches in the 39th round of the Championship will be held on Friday at Hillsborough, where the local Sheffield Wednesday will host the Welsh side Swansea. Will the "owls" manage to defeat the "swans" on their home turf? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Sheffield Wednesday
Under Dani Rëula's management, the team embarked on an excellent streak of four victories at the end of February, significantly improving their league position. At one point, it seemed like the "owls" might escape the relegation zone, but then the fixture list intervened. In the last two rounds, Sheffield Wednesday faced Leeds and Ipswich, both vying for the top two spots. Naturally, few expected surprises in these matches.
After losing their home match to Leeds 0-2, in the previous round, they conceded six unanswered goals to Ipswich in an away encounter. As a result, Sheffield Wednesday currently occupies the second-to-last position, trailing the safety zone by just one point. Additionally, five teams are within one victory's reach.
Swansea
The "Swans" haven't had the best season, but recent results suggest that Swansea fans can expect a calm finish. Currently, the Welsh club sits in 15th place, with 46 points accumulated, seven points clear of the relegation zone.
In the last Championship match, Luke Williams' team defeated Cardiff City 2-0 at home. This victory marked their third win in the last five rounds, with just one defeat in that period. However, away from home, Swansea managed only one point in matches against Watford (1-1) and Bristol City (0-1), following two wins against Hull and Sunderland.
