Prediction: 0-2
Sheffield Wednesday
Cheltenham Town and Sheffield Wednesday face each other at Whaddon Road in what is expected to be an interesting League One encounter. The Robins are on a four-game losing run ahead of Tuesday;s clash, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as big underdogs. Both Christian Norton and Benjamin Williams are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Owls, on the other hand, moved one step closer to securing automatic promotion thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood. The Hillsborough outfit are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win, and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Cheltenham’s dressing room. Both George Byers and Reece James are major doubts, while Barry Bannan remains on the sidelines with injury. In the first half of the season Sheffield Wednesday outplayed Cheltenham Town 3-0.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
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.
