SWA vs BAR preview

Swansea City arrive into this game on the back of a 1-0 lead against Barnsley. Andre Ayew scored the only goal for the away side in the 39th minute of the first leg. As a result, Steve Cooper's men are now in the driving seat to seal their place in the finals of the EFL Championship playoffs. On the other hand, Barnsley will hope they can pull off a remarkable comeback against The Swans and keep their hopes alive of playing in the Premier League next season.

Barnsley will hope to return to the Premier League for the first time since the 1996/97 season. Meanwhile, Swansea City themselves would hope to return to the Premier League once again having spent seven seasons in the top flight from the 2011/12 season to the 2017/18 season. With all on the line for both teams, fans can expect this contest to be nothing short of a cliffhanger.
