Our prediction for this Championship match:
Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday. QPR have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Coventry 3-0, while losing to Nottingham (1-3). The Hoops aim to revive their playoffs hopes, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Owls.
Lyndon Dykes, who found the net in the defeat at the City Ground, is pushing for a start, while Amos, Carroll, Owens, and de Wijs are all out of contention with injuries. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, produced their best performance of the season on Monday, with the team crushing Cardiff 5-0 at home ground. The Owls are determined to secure yet another Championship survival, but beating QPR in London is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Dawson, Dele-Bashiru, Dunkley, Iorfa, Luongo, and Odubajo are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Liam Kelly):
Born in Newport Pagnell, England Liam Kelly is a right-footed midfielder who plays for Coventry City in the League One. Kelly is a product of Milton Keynes Dons football school, but he did not play for the club at senior level. The English footballer started his senior career at Scottish club Kilmarnock, but after making 100 appearances in the league for the Killie, he moved to England, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal with Bristol City.
The English footballer played for the likes of Oldaham Athletic and Leyton Orient as well before joining Coventry City in the summer of 2017. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and right midfielder as well.
His preferred foot is right. He made his league debut with Coventry City on August 5, 2017 in a 3-0 win over Notts County, while scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-1 win over Stevenage in April, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield Wednesday):
Sheffield Wednesday are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Sheffield (South Yorkshire). The Owls compete in the English second tier (Championship) and they play their home matches at Hillsborough.
The venue was the scene of the Hillsborough disaster which occurred in 1989 when 96 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death in the FA Cup semi-final. It has to be noted that the World Cup (1966) and the Euro (1996) matches were played at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday have won four First Division trophies (1902/2903, 1903/1904, 1928/1929, 1929/2930) and they finished the 1960/1961 campaign in second place in the standings. The Owls have clinched three FA Cup trophies (1896, 1907, 1935), with the team winning the League Cup in 1991.
Sheffield Wednesday defeated English giants Manchester United (1-0) in the title game. Sheffield United are regarded as the Owls’ main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Steel City derby.
