15th-placed Stoke hosts bottom-placed Sheffield Wednesday in this Championship Round 40 fixture on Friday. Can the Potters overcome the Owls to keep tabs on the race for a playoff spot? Let's get into our prediction for the game.
Stoke City are on a thin line between hope and disappointment in their race for a play-off finish. They have picked up just four points in their last five matches, including a 3–1 defeat to Preston last time out.
This poor recent run has left them 12 points adrift of the playoff places. Notably, most of their recent games have produced decent scorelines ranging between two and four total goals. Six of their last seven home matches have also witnessed a similar goal range.
Sheffield Wednesday have only their pride on the line coming into this clash as they stand relegated with seven games left. Henrik Pedersen's men are rock bottom of the standings with –6 points.
The Owls' last nine matches have produced between two and four total goals. 10 of their last 11 away matches have also produced between two and four total games. Hence, our tip for the prediction.
