Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City square off against each other at Hillsborough in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Owls aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Burnley and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in Tuesday’s clash. Ben Hamer remains in the recovery room alongside Nathaniel Chalobah, while both Svante Ingelsson and Jamal Lowe should be recalled to the starting eleven.
The South Wales outfit, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game goalless run in the Championship, we are tempted to bet on Sheffield Wednesday, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Ji-Sung Eom, Andrew Fisher, and Josh Ginnelly continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at Hillsborough the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, but home win should be considered this time out.
