Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City face each other at Hillsborough Stadium in a postponed Championship game. The Owls have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team crushing Cardiff City 5-0, while losing to QPR (1-4) in their last league match. Sheffield Wednesday are determined to secure the Championship survival, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Swans. All Luongo, van Aken, Dawson, Odubajo, and Iorfa are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Swans, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Millwall, and they managed to get one in style (3-0). The Welsh outfit moved one step closer to booking their place in the playoffs, and seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened Owls. All Benda, Ariola, Morris, and Cullen remain in the recovery room for the visitors.
