Our prediction for this Championship match:
Legendary Hillsborough Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the standings. The Owls aim to build on a 2-0 win over Millwall and they surely want this win more than Bristol City, who sit in the middle of the table. Ashley Fletcher serves a one-game ban, while all Anthony Musaba, Mohamed Diaby, Josh Windass, John Buckley, and Dominic Iorfa are injured for the home team. Callum Paterson is a major doubt.
The Robins, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers. As the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Danny Rohl’s troops. All Sam Bell, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous are out of contention with injuries, when it comes to the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
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.
