Swansea hold a narrow lead over Barnsley going into the home leg of their Championship play-off semi-final clash with Barnsley.

The Swans defeated the Tykes thanks to a strike from long-serving striker Andre Ayew in the first half, though there was little to separate the two sides at Oakwell.

They will now clash in south Wales in order to nail down a place in the Championship play-off final next weekend, with neither side appearing to be a clear favourite.

Thousands of fans will return to the Liberty Stadium as Steve Cooper's men bid for a return to the Premier League after three seasons away from the top flight.

Barnsley narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship last season but have produced terrific form under lockdown conditions and find themselves in a position they wouldn't have expected to at the start of 2020/21.

Our prediction: Swansea v Barnsley

Swansea's stern defence will be required to dig deep in this one as Barnsley will hope to attack from the outset to level the tie quickly.

However, if Cooper's men can find the net first, it would leave Barnsley with a mountain of work to get through.

This finely-poised affair will require one team to play brave, bold football to land what could be a crucial first goal. Don't expect either side to run away with it though.

Our prediction: Swansea 1-1 Barnsley (5/1 at bet365)
