Watford will host Swansea City at Vicarage Road on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results all season but remain hopeful of securing a promotion playoff spot in the final 10 games of the campaign as they sit 11th in the table with 49 points.
They suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Millwall in their last match, heading into the break a goal up thanks to a Matthew Pollock header before a flat second-half performance from the Hornets saw their opponents come from behind to snatch all three points.
Swansea City, meanwhile, have picked up big results in recent games as they continue to impress under interim boss Alan Sheehan and are now pushing for the top half of the pile. They beat a wayward Middlesbrough side 1-0 in their last match with Ji-Sung Eom netting a long-range strike to secure maximum points and open his account for the Swans.

Swansea, meanwhile, are full of confidence at the moment and will head into the midweek clash on the back of a three-game unbeaten run. They have, however, struggled for results on the road all year and may have to settle for a point on Wednesday.
