Sheffield Wednesday will take on Birmingham City at Hillsborough in the Championship on Tuesday night. The Owls are bottom of the league standings, while Birmingham City are in 14th place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Having been docked 18 points this season and currently sat on -7 after 26 games, 30 points behind second-bottom Oxford, Sheffield Wednesday’s relegation to League One feels almost guaranteed.
The Owls lost to Portsmouth 1-0 over the weekend, extending their winless run to 21 games across all competitions (D7 L14). They have failed to score in their last five ahead of this one.
The hosts have not won a single home league game this season (D4 L10) and have conceded 30 goals at Hillsborough - nine more than any other side in the division has allowed in home games.
Meanwhile, Birmingham City have earned 35 points in 27 games this season (W9 D8 L10) and are eight points behind sixth-placed Preston in the battle for Playoff qualification.
The Blues played out a 1-1 draw against Swansea on Saturday and are now unbeaten in their last three games, which included defeating Cambridge United to progress to the FA Cup fourth round.
However, the visitors have been very poor on the road this season, managing only nine points in 14 away games (W2 D3 L9), which is the second-worst record in the league to date.

Entering this match unbeaten in their last three, we fancy the visitors to come out on top in this one. Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham prediction is Birmingham wins.
