It’s a battle of contrasting fortunes as relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday take on high-flying Ipswich Town. This match to be played at the Hillsborough on Saturday will see the hosts 23rd in the table with just one point which is same as the bottom-placed Middlesbrough while the visitors are 2nd with 12 points and only one point behind the leaders. Wednesday were all over the place to start their campaign with only one point to their name. That came in the last game before the international break, as they had a goalless draw against Leeds United. This came after four straight defeats although three of those have come by a single-goal margin. The hosts still remain one of the poor scorers in the Championship this season with only four goals and that remains a big puzzle to solve. That lone point came on the road and Sheffield have lost both their home league matches putting question marks over their ability to bounce back.

Ipswich are having a great season so far, belying the fact that they are newly promoted. The Tractor Boys went into the international break just a point behind leaders Preston. They have won four and lost just once this season with the defeat coming against Leeds in a seven-goal thriller that ended in a 4-3 loss. With 11 goals to their name, the visitors have the second-best scoring record in this season and that could once again come to their rescue. Even on the road, there haven’t been many problems for the visitors winning both their road trips in this Championship season so far.
