Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Will the Owls pick up a priceless three points?

Sheffield Wednesday have given themselves a mountain to climb in terms of Championship survival. It has been a tough year for the Owls, who suffered a points deduction before a ball was even kicked. On the pitch, though, Wednesday have not been good enough.

There was light at the end of the tunnel when they stunned promotion-chasing Cardiff City at Hillsborough on Easter Monday, with Adam Reach (2), Julian Borner, Callum Paterson and Jordan Rhodes on target in a stunning 5-0 win. However, since then, they have crashed to back-to-back defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City, conceding six goals in the process.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score – No
4/5

(odds taken 1106 GMT, Friday 16 April)

 
Sheffield Wednesday cannot afford to drop points, as they must win at least three of their remaining games to stand any chance of surviving. Can they begin an unlikely revival with maximum points on Saturday?

Bristol City Preview – Can Pearson seal a third away victory?

Bristol City we be glad to see the back of what has been a pretty miserable 2020-21 Championship campaign. They started well under Dean Holden, but the Robins have looked like relegation fodder over the past few months or so.

Nigel Pearson started life in Bristol with a superb 3-1 win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. They have failed to kick on from there, though, winning only one of the following eight. After winning 3-0 at Birmingham City, Bristol City have lost three and drawn two of five.
