Our prediction for this Championship match:
Wednesday’s football game at Swansea.com Stadium pits together Swans and Lions, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the table.

The capital club, on the other hand, did well to hold league leaders WBA to a 1-1 draw at the weekend. The Lions aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win in the midweek clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Benik Afobe, Danny McNamara, and Shaun Hutchinson are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
