Match Preview: Swansea City U21s v Brentford U21s

Brentford Under-21s return to Professional Development League action on Wednesday when they face Swansea City Under-21s at Joma High Performance Centre (1pm kick-off).

Following back-to-back Premier League Cup clashes and with two PL Cup fixtures to follow Swansea, Wednesday’s game provides a chance for Sam Saunders’ side to get back to winning ways in the league.

It’s been a mixed bag of results for the west Londoners in the past three league outings, with a draw, a win and a loss.

With Swansea sitting eighth, a point ahead of the young Bees but with two games in hand, Wednesday’s clash is an important one in Brentford’s quest to rise up the table.
