Middlesbrough will hope to pump some life into their top-six ambitions when they host relegated Sheffield Wednesday. Once a top-two contender, Boro have slipped to fifth with three matches remaining, while Wednesday are confirmed to play in League One next season. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Middlesbrough had another uninspiring outing against fellow promotion contenders Ipswich Town last time out, only managing a 2-2 draw. They’ll be particularly disappointed, having led twice in the match.
Now they trail second by three points but have played one game more. Leading seventh-placed Wrexham by six points, Boro need four more points to lock their top-six slot.
Sheffield Wednesday have nothing more to play for in the Championship. Their relegation was confirmed a while back, and this is just a formality.
The Owls had to deal with an 18-point penalty this season, and they head into this game with -3 points. They’ve only managed one win all season in the Championship and lost a league-high 30 matches.
The visitors have, however, been tough to beat lately and could prove a handful for Middlesbrough. In each of their last three matches, they played to draws, and among them was one against league leaders Coventry.
Most recently, they rallied to peg back Charlton in a 1-1 draw.

Our Middlesbrough vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Middlesbrough have found it really tough to win matches in recent weeks. From a possible 21 points in the last seven league games, they only collected four points. Going without a win for the eighth straight Championship game remains a strong possibility.
This is even more enhanced by a Sheffield Wednesday side that has been tough to beat lately. The bottom-placed side has drawn in each of the last three matches, a similar stat to three of Middlesbrough’s last six home encounters. Our prediction for Middlesbrough v Sheffield Wednesday is a draw.
