Recommended Bet: Southampton to win
Southampton's late-season resurgence has not only seen them burst into the Championship play-off positions, but they also now have their eyes on a potential place in the top two.
The Saints have soared to fourth in the standings and they can draw level on points with second-placed Ipswich, who play on Sunday, if they extend their winning run to eight games at Swansea.
The home side are safe from relegation after winning at Leicester last weekend, but they are 11 points off the play-off places with four matches left, so they can turn their attention to next season.
The teams drew 0-0 in their first meeting in October but the Saints are a very different side now under head coach Tonda Eckert.

Prediction
Southampton have looked a totally different team in 2026 than they were at the start of the season and they can boost their late promotion challenge with a win at Swansea.
Saints have shown no signs of losing their focus since their excellent 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final triumph over Arsenal, winning three league games off the back of that success and scoring 10 goals in the process.
With two of those wins being over fellow play-off hopefuls Wrexham and Derby, the south-coast side will not be too daunted by next facing 14th-placed Swansea, for whom the stakes are no longer as high.
The Swans earned a valuable win at Leicester last weekend to ease any lingering relegation doubts but they were on the back foot for much of that contest, losing the corners battle 12-2 and having only one shot on target, and this should be a much sterner test.
Swansea had taken only two points from their four previous league fixtures, including a 2-0 loss at Wrexham, who were thrashed 5-1 by Southampton in their next home game.
Southampton may yet have to settle for a place in the play-offs, but the Swans do not look likely to be the side to derail their current progress.
