Sheffield Wednesday
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Burnley
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Coventry City, Sheffield Wednesday will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Burnley on Saturday afternoon. The Owls were producing fine displays before the international break, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Burnley. However, this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts, who are still without Olaf Kobacki, Liam Palmer, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Ben Hamer.
The Clarets, meanwhile, are still regarded as one of the main candidates for promotion. Burnley aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but beating Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Benson Manuel, Mike Tresor, Nathan Redmond, Hannes Delcroix, Hjalmar Ekdal, Aaron Ramsey, and Louis Jordan Beyer miss out with injuries for the away team.
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.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
