Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday: mid-table push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Swansea City face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Sunday, 8 February 2026 in Swansea, with the hosts aiming to pull further clear of danger while the visitors look to spark a survival bid.

Swansea City won the reverse fixture 2-0 in August 2025. With the hosts 16th and Sheffield Wednesday bottom in 24th, the stakes are clear.

Swansea City have won two of their last three league games, including a 2-0 victory at Watford last time out. The Owls, meanwhile, are on a five-game losing run.

Vitor Matos is without Adam Idah, Zeidane Inoussa and Melker Widell. The Owls list several absentees across the pitch, including Nathaniel Chalobah, Dominic Iorfa, Max Lowe, Iké Ugbo, Di'Shon Bernard and goalkeeper Pierce Charles, plus defenders Guilherme Siqueira and Ernie Weaver and forward George Brown.

Swansea City average 55% possession with 80.13% pass accuracy and eight clean sheets, and could lean on Zan Vipotnik, the league's leading scorer with 13 goals, alongside Josh Tymon's six assists. The Owls have scored 18 and conceded 58 this season, so set piece solidity and compact defending may be central to their plan away from home.

Swansea City sit on 39 points. A win would strengthen their mid-table position and push them further from the relegation picture. The Owls are 24th on -7 points, and three points here would cut the gap in the survival fight.
