Barnsley vs Swansea prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Barnsley host Swansea at the Oakwell Stadium in the EFL Championship on Wednesday, with the sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Barnsley are currently 23rd in the table, four points off safety. New boss Poya Asbaghi's side have been woeful this season and have only won two games across all competitions. It will be a huge ask for them to take anything away from the game against Swansea.

Swansea, on the other hand, are currently 12th in the league, with a win potentially taking them up to eighth. Russell Martin's side have been in inconsistent form recently, having won only two of their last five games. They will look to turn things around with a win against Barnsley on Wednesday.

This will be a great opportunity for Swansea to climb up the table with a win against a poor Barnsley side.
