It has been confirmed that Swansea<\/a> will face Nottingham Forest<\/a> in their play-off semi-final, while Cardiff<\/a> will take on Reading<\/a> in the second play-off tie, after the final round of Championship games were completed.<\/p>\n

After leapfrogging rivals Cardiff on the final day of the season following a 4-0 win over Sheffield United, Swansea finished in third place and will now face a semi-final first-leg trip to Nottingham Forest, who obtained sixth spot, on May 12.<\/p>\n

Dave Jones\u2019s Cardiff drew with Burnley on the final day of the season and had to settle for fourth place. They face a trip to Reading for their play-off semi-final first-leg tie on May 13.<\/p>\n

Swansea host Nottingham Forest in their second-leg clash on May 16, while Cardiff will welcome Brian McDermott\u2019s side in their return leg on May 17.<\/p>\n

The winner of each semi-final will take a trip to Wembley on May 30 to play in the play-off final, which will determine the third team to be promoted to the Premier League along with QPR, who won the division, and Norwich, who secured second place.
