Prediction: 2-1
Sheffield Wednesday
Coventry City play host to Sheffield Wednesday at their Coventry Building Society Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Sky Blues desperately needed a win against Blackburn Rovers and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Japan international Tatsuhiro Sakamoto has joined midfield duo Jamie Allen – Borges Rodrigues in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Owls have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Luton Town, beating WBA, while sharing the spoils with Bristol City. As Sheffield Wednesday continue with their old habit of struggling on the road, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. The likes of Olaf Kobacki, Dominic Iorfa, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Ben Hamer continue to miss out with injuries, while defender Liam Palmer is am major doubt.
