Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Hillsborough on Matchday 31. The Owls have been having their ups and downs of late, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to avoid relegation to the League One. Since Sheffield Wednesday had no more than give goal attempts in a 1-0 loss to Stoke City, home win should not be considered.
The Blues, on the other hand, are on a three-match losing run in the Championship, and, no doubt, they are eager to grab something from Saturday’s relegation six-pointer. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. The likes of van Aken, Odubajo, Iorfa, and Dawson are all out of contention with injuries, while both Boyd-Munce and Jeacock remain in Birmingham City’s recovery room.
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.
