Sheffield faced an arduous task to gain promotion to the Chamionship, having navigated their way through the playoffs. However, the Owls could replicate their showing last time out when they were relegated after just one season in the Chamionship.
Swansea, for their part, are in danger of seeing their five-year stay in the division come to an end unless they significantly improve their results. Although either side could nick a win, expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
