Sheffield Wednesday will hope to secure their place in the Championship when they travel to Stoke City this Friday. With four matches remaining, the Owls need two more points to guarantee survival, while Stoke are just five points above the drop zone. We have a prediction for the match below.
Pressure is on the Potters heading into this game. They’ve shown a lot of improvement in their recent league matches, but survival isn’t assured yet.
The 1-0 win at Cardiff City last week was their fourth undefeated outing, giving them an edge in the survival race. In the reverse meeting with Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke lost 2-0.
Things are much calmer at the away side’s court, though by now Sheffield Wednesday should have confirmed survival. The visitors are coming into this match having collected a meager two points from a possible 15 in the last five matches.
Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Oxford United. Winning home matches has proven tricky for Sheffield Wednesday, and they will welcome this chance to play on the road.
While they are on five straight home defeats, the Owls haven't lost an away match in four outings. Danny Rohl’s men are unbeaten in the last three meetings with Stoke, which will give them confidence.
