Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they face WBA at their Hillsborough. The Owls recorded a very important 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, but Birmingham City are still breathing down their neck. Mohamed Diaby has joined the likes of Ian Poveda and Juan Delgado in the recovery room, while Michael Ihiekwe should be fit for Saturday’s clash despite suffering a minor injury against the Riversiders.
Meanwhile, the Baggies should make it to the playoffs despite suffering a dip in form. As Sheffield Wednesday want this win more than West Bromwich Albion, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. West Brom midfielder John Swift is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Jayson Molumby and Daryl Dike are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
