Swansea City Preview – Third win on the spin for the Swans?
Swansea City still have aspirations of finishing in the top two, though the play-offs seem a more likely destination for the Swans. The Welsh side are currently in third position on 75 points, seven points behind second-place Watford. However, they are nine points clear of seventh.
In truth, Swansea probably blew their top-two hopes after four defeats in a row from mid-March to early April. However, they have hit back with crucial away wins over Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday in their last two, scoring five and shipping none.
Swansea have certainly had their issues at the Liberty lately, losing three of their last four on home turf. Including the Emirates FA Cup defeat to Manchester City, Steve Cooper’s boys have lost four of their past seven on their own patch. Nevertheless, they are the 1/2 favourites to win this home fixture.
Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Chairboys to crash to a 25th league defeat of sorry season?
Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers did a remarkable job to reach the Championship via the EFL League One play-offs last term, but the Chairboys have found the step up just too difficult. Wanderers’ relegation back to League One could be confirmed this weekend.
Overall, Wycombe have managed to win just eight Championship games this term, losing 24 and drawing nine of the other 33. They have also conceded a league high of 64 goals and scored a mere 30.
