- Competition: Championship
- Date: Wednesday, 9th April 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Swansea.com Stadium (Swansea)
With six Championship rounds left in the season and seven points more than the drop zone, Swansea are close to securing their stay in the league. Alan Sheehan's team have been in good form in the previous weeks, as Swansea lost only two of the last seven matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home vs Derby. Neither of the teams offered much, but the home side showed better efficiency, so they picked up a valuable win.
There is a great chance that Plymouth will be playing in League One next season. They are the last on the table with four points fewer than safety. However, four points in the previous two games sparked some optimism around Plymouth that staying in the Championship is within reach. In the last game, Miron Muslic's team won 2-1 at home against Norwich. The home side had only 24% ball possession, but they ended with an xG of 1.78 and deserved all three points. Such a performance gives Plymouth hope that they could repeat the same on Wednesday against Swansea, too.
Swansea vs Plymouth pick: Under 2.5 goals
Swansea scored only four goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Plymouth scored only two goals in the previous three road games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie in Swansea.

Swansea team news
Swansea's head coach, Alan Sheehan, was very happy after his team's victory against Derby. He said, "It wasn't a wonderful game, but it was a wonderful win. It was a wonderful defensive display, a win in the Championship, and the one bit of quality in the whole game that brought the goal. At this stage of the season, that's how it's going to be."
Kristian Pedersen and Myles Peart-Harris are injured and will not play on Wednesday against Plymouth.

Plymouth team news
Plymouth secured a victory that gave them hope of avoiding relegation in the previous round against Norwich, and the head coach, Mirom Muslic, was delighted. He said, "Finally, we could reward ourselves. The pressure was on anyway; we knew the importance of the game, and we also knew our situation without speaking too much and too long. We knew we just had to win. I mentioned in my last speech in the locker room that it's about sacrifice, to give it all, then we have a chance."
Plymouth doesn't have big problems with missing players, either. Nikola Katic, Brendan Galloway, and Maksym Talovierov should be the only ones unavailable for Wednesday.
