Prediction published on 01/01/2024, 03:53  by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions

Sheffield Wednesday will hope to rise a place higher in their quest for survival when they host Hull City next. Heading into this game, Hull City are sixth in the standings and Sheffield 23rd. A shock 1-0 win over Preston North End rekindled Sheffield’s survival hopes and they’ll be looking to build on that. They had to do it the hard way though, with George Byers’ late sendoff, and he will be suspended here. In the last two games now, Sheffield have had a player sent off, Bambo Diaby having been red carded earlier. Sheffield take into this game an unwanted stat, of being the side with the most losses in the league. They have also scored the least goals and come here as underdogs. In the run up to this game though, Sheffield have scored in all but one of the last five matches. They have scored more than once in one of the five matches, and conceded more than once in three.

Hull City arrested their slide with a 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers in the last game. that win ended a run of two straight defeats. It was Hull City’s third in the last five matches and their scoring run has been impressive. In the last five matches, they failed to score once,. In the four matches they scored, they managed two or more goals. Hull City are just two points ahead of seventh placed Sunderland, and they’ll want a win here to stay in the top six. Four straight wins over Sheffield Wednesday make for a confident approach to this encounter. An area of improvement will however be in defence. They have conceded in all but one of their last five matches. In three of their last five matches, both teams managed to score.
