The league table in Championship tells a story about these teams so far, with Swansea City leading Sheffield Wednesday by 16 points. Match preview to follow:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Swansea City form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Liberty Stadium as Swansea City have scored 8 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Swansea, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Swansea's previous game was a Championship match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Rotherham United (placed 19th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Norwich City.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Swansea City handle that role? We have found 18 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are eight wins, five draws and five defeats.
There will be little rest for Swansea after this match as they are travelling to Nottingham Forest for a Championship game in only four days.
