Prediction: 1-1
QPR
Legendary Hillsborough stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers, the two relegation-threatened sides. The Hoops have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating all Stoke City, Preston, and Hull City, while sharing the spoils Plymouth. The capital club have a nice chance to escape the relegation zone, but they will have to do it without injured duo Jack Colback – Morgan Fox in Saturday’s clash.
The Owls, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Norwich City. Sheffield Wednesday are desperate to return to winning ways, but given QPR’s fine form in December, the share of spoils is on the horizon. All Mallik Wilks, Dominic Iorfa, and Mohamed Diaby are sidelined with injuries for the home team. In their last meeting at Hillsborough the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
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 (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
