Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Owls to secure a massive three points?
Sheffield Wednesday are gunning for an instant return to the EFL Championship. The Owls have had a tough season in the third tier, but their excellent form over the last couple of months or so has fired them into promotion contention.
Since ending 2021 with a heavy 5-0 defeat at Sunderland and then starting the new year with a 1-0 loss at Shrewsbury Town, Wednesday have gone on to win nine of the following 14 in the league. They have lost only one of their previous seven, though the last two have ended in draws.
After back-to-back draws with Accrington Stanley and Gillingham, Sheffield Wednesday will be after all three points from this one. The hosts are the bookies’ favourites at 8/15.
Cheltenham Town Preview – Can the Robins cause an upset at Hillsborough?
Cheltenham Town won EFL League Two last season, so staying in League One was always the priority. To their credit, the Robins have had a fine campaign up until now, collecting a more than respectable 50 points. Overall, Michael Duff’s boys have won 12, drawn 14 and lost 13.
Cheltenham are in decent nick, suffering just three losses since January. They head to Hillsborough having won three of their last five. Duff’s boys have struggled on their travels this season, though, picking up just three away league wins. Town have won only once on the road in 2022.
