What channel is Brentford v Swansea Championship play-off semi-final on? Kick off time and latest team news- 29 July 2020
Brentford host Swansea in the Championship play-off semi-final this week.
Brentford will hope to say goodbye to Griffin Park in style as they prepare for their final game in the ground – and it's one of the biggest in their history.
The Bees missed out on automatic promotion by a whisker and were toppled 1-0 by Swansea in the dying stages of their first play-off clash.
They must now regroup for one last throw of the dice at home in a bid to reach the Championship play-off final.
Swansea are in dreamland right now. Steve Cooper's men leapt into the play-offs at the expense of Nottingham Forest in the most dramatic of circumstances on the final.
Now they're in the reverse situation. The Swans have a lead to defend and not throw away - which result will it be?

Brentford v Swansea team news
Brentford: Rico Henry is available to play after having his red card rescinded from the first leg.
Emiliano Marcondes could come into the XI after featuring from the bench last time out.
Swansea: Kyle Naughton is back from a three-match ban but Cooper may be reluctant to change a winning formula.
Wayne Routledge missed the first leg and is not expected to recover in time for this one, at least not from the start.
Our prediction: Brentford v Swansea
Neither team should be written off ahead of this one. Many people have tipped Brentford to cruise through, completely forgetting the events of their last encounter.
The Bees made chances, and on another day would've converted them, but Swansea have a tangible goal on the board, and that is worth defending.
Brentford may win the battle, but Swansea, playing without fear, with nothing to lose and little in the way of expectations, may just have the freedom to win the war. Somehow.
Our prediction: Brentford 2-1 Swansea (Swansea on penalties)
(Brentford to win 2-1: 15/2 at bet365)
