History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City fixture

Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Swansea City at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The The Owls have a healthy record in the fixture, winning 7 from 13 meetings.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in March 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Owls have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Swansea City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Sheff. Wed. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 18 points from their 21 games thus far. Swansea City's total of 32 points from their 21 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
