There's a real top vs bottom clash in the Championship this weekend as Ipswich Town host Sheffield Wednesday at Portman Road. The Tractor Boys are striving for a return to the top flight, whereas the Owls are struggling after huge points deductions have left relegation almost an inevitability. We may have to get creative for this match prediction to find some value!
The gulf between the teams is shown in the current Championship table. Ipswich Town lie fifth in the table with 34 points from their 21 games played. Sheffield Wednesday have played 20 games, but are rock bottom on -9 points, having been deducted 18 points so far this season. They have also scored the fewest, and conceded the most goals in the division.
Ipswich's recent form had been great heading into last weekend. They earned a 1-1 draw away to Blackburn and then beat leaders Coventry City 3-0 at home. A 1-0 win over Stoke City also at home followed, but last week, they were well-beaten 3-1 away at an improving Leicester City.
Wednesday have won just one of their 20 league games this season and recent form isn't much better. They were 3-2 losers at home to Preston North End, before earning a point in a 1-1 draw away to Watford. However, their last game saw them comfortably beaten 3-0 at home by Derby County.

Our Ipswich Town vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for the Ipswich Town vs. Sheffield Wednesday Championship match is: Ipswich wins.
This is one of the rare games where the data points exclusively to one result. Ipswich should win this game comfortably, as their very short odds on a win highlight. However, this is a fixture which has seen a few goals in recent times and with the Owls conceding plenty and Ipswich scoring a few of late, backing Ipswich to win with over 2.5 goals to be scored in the game makes a better value bet.
