Tonight Swansea City and Nottingham Forest will play the second leg of their play-off semi final at the Liberty stadium.

The tie is currently evenly balanced with even the smallest of factors potentially the difference between success and failure.

Therefore Swansea fans will hope that the small things are with them in a fixture which may define the season of both clubs.

Home Advantage

Swansea had the best home record in the Championship last season and they will be hoping to draw on this tonight.

Brendan Rodgers side have lost just three of their 23 league games conceding just 11 goals turning the Liberty Stadium into a fortress.

With away goals not relevant in the play-offs this could be a defining factor.

First Leg Performance

Swansea’s play-off campaign seemed to be in freefall after going down to ten men with just 56 seconds on the clock during the first leg.

Rather than implode the Swans stood tall and controlled large parts of the game, creating chances with Nathan Dyer and Fabio Borini causing endless problems with their creativity and never say die attitude.

The Swans did not win the match but will take a moral victory into the deciding game.

Fabio Borini Fitness Boost

Since arriving in January the Chelsea striker has been in top form, scoring goals and displaying a set piece prowess straight from the Didier Drogba playbook.

Many feared the worst after he hobbled off during the first leg that his season was over, but reports suggest he is fit to play. If he is then he could do some real damage to the Forest defence.

Overall both sides are evenly matched and the fixture is difficult to call but after the performances in the first leg and home advantage, Swansea must be considered ever so slight favourites.

This is an intriguing fixture and should produce an entertaining 90-120minutes of football.

Kick off is at 19:45 BST
