Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can the Owls avoid an eighth straight defeat?
Sheffield Wednesday are in freefall, losing seven Championship games on the bounce. Since back-to-back victories over Preston North End and Bournemouth in late January and early February, the Owls have lost eight of their following nine, picking up a mere three points from 27 on offer.
Last Sunday, despite taking a deserved lead, Darren Moore’s men fell to a 2-1 home defeat to leaders Norwich City, which was their third home league loss in a row. Prior to that, Wednesday had won five on the trot at Hillsborough.
With time running out to save their Championship status, Sheffield Wednesday will be desperate for maximum points from this one. Despite their woeful form and precarious league position, the home team are the bookies’ favourites in this one.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Back-to-back away wins for Town?
Huddersfield Town have had a tough season so far, but Carlos Corberan’s men head to the Steel City unbeaten in three. After losses to Derby County and Preston North End at the end of February, the Terriers have taken five points from fixtures with Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers.
Huddersfield have been poor away from the John Smith’s Stadium this term, with only Wycombe Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City picking up fewer away points, but the Terriers did pick up an excellent win on the road last time out. Juninho Bacuna’s goal ten minutes into the second period gave Town a 1-0 victory at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
