Swansea's double league success over Reading during the regular Championship season will not have much bearing when the two sides meet in Monday's play-off final, according to Royals right-back Andy Griffin.
Swans triumphed 1-0 at the Madejski Stadium in October thanks to Scott Sinclair and then 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium on New Year's Day, Darren Pratley this time netting the only goal of the game.
Griffin told Reading's official website: "They did the double over us in the league but I don't know how much that will count for - we lost 1-0 home and away but both games were so tight and it's a one-off game on Monday."
He added: "We'll show Swansea the respect they deserve, as a team they've done very well.
"They pass the ball around well and they'll have a game plan. But we'll have a game plan ourselves and we're confident we can go out and win.
"I was very confident we could go out and beat Cardiff and we went there and came away with a comfortable win in the end. And the way we're playing at the moment there's no reason why we can't win again."
