Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hillsborough will be the centre of attention when Sheffield Wednesday and WBA square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Owls aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Luton Town, but they face yet another difficult task against the league leaders. Jamaica defender Di’Shon Bernard is banned for the match, while goalkeeper Ben Hamer remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Baggies, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Championship. As Sheffield Wednesday struggled defensively in a 2-1 loss to Luton Town, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side this time out. Barring any fresh injury worries, Carlos Corberan is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Plymouth at the weekend. Meanwhile, forward Daryl Dike has yet to recover from his Achilles tendon injury. Josh Maja is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
