Match Day 2 of the Championship is here and Swansea will be at home to take on Sheffield United with both sides seeking three points after losses in the first round. Both sides are also coming from wins in the League Cup in midweek. Hosts Swansea have been in the promotion playoffs in the last two seasons and they will hope this time they can seal it. They suffered a 2-1 loss to Blackburn Rovers in their Championship opener and will be hoping to rise again here. They did well in the League Cup, beating Reading 3-0 and will want to replicate this in their first home match of the season. Swansea have scored in each of their last five matches, and all of them have produced over 2.5 goals, after keeping just one clean sheet.

Sheffield United opened their campaign with a 1-0 loss at home to Birmingham City but they recovered to beat Carlisle United 1-0 in the League Cup. Their latest result served their fourth clean sheet in the last five matches and they will be hoping to carry on the same way as they seek an immediate return to the Premier League. They have failed to score in just one of their five matches, and in two of them they scored two or more. Those two are the only ones to hit over 2.5 goals in their run of five matches. Rhian Brewster scored his first ever Sheffield United goal and will be gunning for one in the Championship. They have seven goals in their last two away matches, and will hope they can break a run of three straight losses to Sheffield United.
