A game that affects the playoff race and the bottom of the table takes place at Hillsborough on Saturday. Sheffield Wednesday are the home side, currently safe after finally pulling out of the relegation zone last weekend. They welcome West Brom, currently in the playoffs, but the gap is closing, and more is needed.
Sheffield Wednesday Form GuideSheffield Wednesday have improved beyond recognition under Danny Rohl, and finally, for the first time since the early part of the season, he's lifted his side out of the relegation zone. But only just. Wednesday sit one point above Birmingham and three ahead of Huddersfield, two sides in the drop zone trying to get out.
It's now four unbeaten for Wednesday, two wins and two draws and a simply huge win last Sunday did the trick. They went away from home to Blackburn, and came back with three points after a 3-1 win, beating a side who are not yet safe, and could still be in trouble. Two massive games remain, and Wednesday have a solid chance of staying up.
West Brom Form GuideWest Brom are in 5th and for a long time now, have looked in control of that position. But things have slipped recently. They are just three points ahead of 7th placed Hull, and tied with Norwich in 6th, so the playoffs are not guaranteed, and more work is needed to get in, and if they do, they may not finish 5th after all.
The Baggies come here on the back of two losses in their last two games, which has allowed the others to catch up. They lost 2-1 away at Leicester last weekend, and before that, lost 1-0 at home to Sunderland. The most recent was always going to be tough, but that Sunderland loss was very disappointing.
Match PredictionIt's big at both ends of the table, but Sheffield Wednesday are the side coming here in the best recent form. Two games to go, this is their last at home, and I think they'll finish with a win, which would hugely help their survival chances.
