Prediction: 0-1
Swansea
Legendary Hillsborough stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City. The Owls did well to shock Premier League side Leeds United in the EFL Cup last 64, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of Swansea’s visit. Gabriel Otegbayo is rated doubtful for the match after picking up a knock in the EFL Cup triumph, while all Bernard, Chalobah, and Charles remain in the recovery room. Keep in mind that Sheffield Wednesday remain among the prime relegation candidates given the club’s ongoing financial problems.
The Swans, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late and given their fine record at Hillsborough in early past, away win should be considered. You should know that Swansea are undefeated in the previous four meetings with Sheffield Wednesday at the venue. Defender Ricardo Santos continues to miss out with injury for the away team.
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.
