    Swansea City v Wycombe Wanderers

    Competition - Sky Bet Championship
    Venue - The Liberty Stadium
    Date - 17 April 2021
    Kick off - 12:30


    Following their deserved 2-0 away win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, next up for Steve Cooper’s revitalised Swansea squad is a home match against relegation candidates (certainties?) Wycombe Wanderers.

    On Tuesday evening, the Swans
    cut the gap to the automatic promotion places as Sheffield Wednesday suffered another heavy blow in their bid to avoid relegation.

    Jamal Lowe capitalised on a defensive error to put Swansea ahead, before Jay Fulton's header sealed a 2-0 victory for Steve Cooper's side.

    Swansea are now seven points behind second-placed Watford with five games to play, the last of which is at Vicarage Road.

    The Owls remain deep in trouble in 23rd, seven points adrift of safety.

    Last Saturday, Luton scored three goals in the last 10 minutes to come from behind and beat bottom-of-the-table Wycombe, who played most of the second half with 10 men.

    The hosts went ahead when Admiral Muskwe was brought down in the box by Kal Naismith, and Anis Mehmeti's penalty had the power to beat Simon Sluga.

    Wycombe's Josh Knight was shown a straight red card for a lunge on Jordan Clark and the Hatters eventually levelled through George Moncur's 25-yard free-kick into the bottom corner.

    Kazenga LuaLua put Luton ahead with an excellent curling effort from a short corner, and Elijah Adebayo sealed the points with a brilliant header from Harry Cornick's cross.

    The Swans have played Wycombe on 15 previous occasions, winning 7, losing 6 and drawing 2.

    In the reverse fixture at Adams Park in September, the Swans ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Ayew and Lowe:



    Turning to Saturday, if the Swans are to cling to any hopes of achieving automatic promotion then a win is an absolute must.

    However, Wycombe will also need a win to maintain any possible hope of avoiding the drop - indeed, if Coventry were to beat Rotherham tonight (Thursday evening), and Wycombe lose to the Swans then Wycombe would be 12 points adrift with only 4 to play.

    I’m expecting the Swans to maintain their improved form and run out comfortable 2-0 winners <cheers>

    I've got way too much optimism after the last two results, so a nervy 1 - 0 win.

    Mentally, I've given Watford 7 points from their last 5 games (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats).

    That means we would need 15 points to overhaul them - basically win every game. It's very unlikely, but we should win this one....3-1

    I see a win here - let's face it nothing else is acceptable at this point.

    We have :

    Wycombe home
    QPR home
    Reading away
    Derby home
    Watford away

    We are capable of winning all our home games really. Reading away could prove the nail in the coffin in terms of automatic spots as they are still looking for a playoff spot, but by the time we play them they may be out of contention - which would be preferable for us.

    It would be really exciting if Watford lose to Norwich next Tuesday and then draw with Brentford. It would mean that we could win promotion by beating them - although we'll probably **** it up before we get that far.

    I see nothing other than a convincing 3-0 Swans win. Bennett to finally get his first goal.

    Looking at some of the score predictions I’d say there a few who should be on a stage ;)

    If Cardiff had held on to their lead and not conceded in the 94th minute, we’d have secured our play-off spot <steam>

    As long as the players don’t think all they have to do is turn up, players play for pride and I think this will not be easy for us today
