Sheff Wed v Swansea Competition - Sky Bet Championship Venue - Hillsborough Date - 29 March 2024 Kick off - 3pm Following their impressive 2-0 victory over Cardiff in the South Wales derby, next up for Luke Williams’ Swansea squad is a tricky looking trip to relegation threatened Sheff Wednesday. in their last outing, the Swans regained bragging rights over Cardiff with a superb, and thoroughly deserved, victory in the 117th South Wales derby - making it 19 wins to 7 for the Swans in the last 33 matches. The Swans were really excellent, and raced out the blocks from the first whistle. Nat Philips had to be alert to block a rasping Matt Grimes effort, after Cardiff failed to clear their lines following an early Jamie Paterson cross. Harry Darling then headed straight at Ethan Horvath, while Ronald's shot on the edge of the area couldn't find a way through the blue bodies. Liam Cullen handed his side a deserved lead with his sixth goal of the season just before half-time, before drilling wide from the spot early in the second half of a lively clash at the Swansea.com Stadium. Early in the second half, the Swans golden opportunity to kill the game off. Perry Ng, who was given a torrid time for much of the afternoon, was penalised for hauling down Ronald inside the box, and referee David Webb had no hesitation in pointing to the box. However, Cullen put his spot kick wide…. Cardiff seldom offered much sign of getting back into it, but any remaining Swans nerves were settled deep into stoppage time as Jamal Lowe came off the bench to slot home - and spark wild celebrations among the home faithful and the Swans bench. The same day that the Swans were beating the Bluebirds, Omari Hutchinson scored twice in a virtuoso performance as Ipswich Town put six goals past Sheffield Wednesday to maintain their charge for automatic promotion.. The result was never in doubt as Hutchinson, Cameron Burgess and Nathan Broadhead goals had the game won by half-time. Hutchinson added his second, and created two more for substitute Ali Al-Hamadi, as Ipswich made it consecutive defeats for relegation-troubled Wednesday. The Swans have played the Owls on 36 previous occasions, winning 10, losing 13 and drawing 13. The teams last met in Sheffield 3 years ago when the Swans ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Lowe and Fulton: Turning to tomorrow, will it be a case of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s Show’ for the Swans? Given that we rarely play well after an international break and with Wednesday desperate for the points, I have a feeling that, if the players are still ‘on a high’, Wednesday will win 3-1. If we play like we did against Cardiff, we can repeat the 2-0 success of 3 years ago.
Cheers Taff. Tricky one to call this. Weds have been on a good run of form until losing the last two, albeit against Leeds and Ipswich. They're at home and hungry for safety. I'll go for the fence seat and say a 1 - 1.
We are always pants after the international break and after all the players say we must build on that win. so 2-1 loss?
