Prediction: 0-2
QPR
Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to build on a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Portsmouth when they welcome QPR to Hillsborough. The Owls continue to struggle financially, lacking high-profile players, but the team showed fighting spirit last weekend, which should give them confidence ahead of this clash. Jamaica international Bailey Cadamarteri picked up a minor knock, but he is expected to recover in time to feature.
QPR, on the other hand, look much improved, recording three wins on the bounce and finding goal-scoring rhythm. There are no fresh selection concerns for the visitors, which adds to their growing momentum. A man to keep an eye on is Richard Kone, who has already netted three goals this term and is brimming with confidence. Given Wednesday’s inconsistency and QPR’s impressive run, everything points to an away win at Hillsborough. Taking everything into account, we predict that the capital club will extend their winning streak with another solid performance.
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.
