Sheffield Wednesday host Swansea City in the Championship on Tuesday night, in what should be a close encounter.

Sheffield Wednesday are back at Hillsborough once again, fresh from their 2-0 defeat against Burnley over the weekend.

Danny Rohl’s side took a lot of optimism into the Burnley game but were simply beaten by the better side on the day.

A costly mistake from Yan Valery gave Burnley the lead. Ike Ugbo struggled once again as he awaits his first league goal since joining from Troyes during the summer.

As things stand, the Owls sit in 18th place of the Championship table compared to Swansea City in 13th.

Luke Williams’ side are winless in their last four Championship games; in all four, no team has scored more than once, with two 1-0 defeats for the Swans, a 0-0 draw and a 1-1 draw.

Sam Parkin shares Sheffield Wednesday vs Swansea City score prediction

Speaking on the Championship Check-In podcast, EFL pundit Sam Parkin has given his score prediction for the game at Hillsborough on Tuesday night.

He said: “Becomes a big game doesn’t it, all of a sudden, I think for both… Swansea just in such low-margin games aren’t they.

“Just not scoring many, but not being put to the sword. I’ll take a 1-1 here, because I think that probably does both teams [a favour], given it’s a big week in terms of the games and the quick turnaround.”

Sheffield Wednesday have sold out their trip to Portsmouth on Friday night, in an 8pm kick-off on Sky Sports.

Did Sam Parkin correctly predict Sheffield Wednesday vs Burnley?

Parkin actually got his Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley score prediction wrong, backing the Owls to draw 2-2.

Coincidentally, former Owl and now Sky Sports man David Prutton predicted a 2-2 draw between the Clarets and Wednesday.
