This Championship round 29 fixture will see Bristol City welcome Sheffield Wednesday to the Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday. Can the Red Army overcome the Owls to continue their push for a finish in the playoff places? Let's take you through our prediction for the match.
Bristol City stumbled in their push to finish in the playoff places on Tuesday against Ipswich Town. The Red Army suffered a 2–0 defeat against the hosts, courtesy of Jack Clarke's brace. Tuesday's defeat saw them slip to 11th in the standings with 40 points, three points adrift of the top six.
Gerhard Struber's team will look to get back to winning ways on Saturday against a struggling Sheffield Wednesday side. They have been solid at home, winning three of their last four home fixtures and saw off Sheffield Wednesday 3–0 in the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign.
Sheffield Wednesday's underwhelming Championship run this season has shown no sign of abating. The Owls fell yet again at home to Birmingham City on Tuesday, losing 2–0.
Notably, that result extended their winless run to 21 Championship matches, worsening an already dire situation for the team. They have now suffered defeats in their last five matches across competitions and are winless in their last nine road games.
