Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Sheffield Wednesday
Ashton Gate Stadium will host Wednesday’s Championship game between Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday, the two mid-table sides. The Robins have been having their ups and downs of late, losing to Blackburn Rovers, beating Oxford United, while sharing the spoils with Swansea City. Bristol City are eager to start a new winning run in the Championship, but they will have to do it without injured quartet Atkinson, Benarous, Dickie, and McCrorie. Ireland midfielder Mark Sykes is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Owls, on the other hand, head into the midweek game following a home win over WBA, but given their dreadful away record (0-0-3), we predict that the hosts are going to win this encounter. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer and midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah should be the only absentees in the away team, while Ike Ugbo is expected to drop to the bench following his under-par performance against the Baggies.
Highlighted Player (Josh Windass):
Born in Hull, England on January 9, 1994, John Windass is a professional footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. Windass is a product of Huddersfield Town youth academy, but he did not play for the Terriers at senior level.
The 175-cm-tall midfielder began his senior career at Accrington Stanley and after scoring 22 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2016. Two years later Josh Windass joined Wigan Athletic and he has been playing for the DW Stadium outfit ever since. He scored his first Championship goal on September 18, 2018 in a 2-1 win over Hull City.
His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as both central midfielder and second striker as well. It has to be noted that Josh is the son of former footballer Dean Windass, who played for the likes of Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Bradford City during his professional career.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
