Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City Prediction & Betting Tips | 13/04/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this Championship match:

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday

Stoke City

Stoke City

Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Hillsborough when Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City lock horns in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer on Saturday afternoon. The Owls are eager to escape the relegation zone and their fine display in a come-from-behind 2-2 draw with Norwich City is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Stoke. All Mohamed Diaby, Ian Poveda, and Juan Delgado are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

Meanwhile, the Potters experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Swansea City, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Danny Rohl’s troops, who proved their worth in the midweek draw with the Canaries. The likes of Ryan Mmaee, Lynden Gooch, and Ben Pearson are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
