Sheffield Wednesday vs West Brom predictions: Tight fight likely to happen at Hillsborough

Sheffield Wednesday have dragged themselves out of the Championship relegation zone and given themselves a strong chance of staying in the second tier.

They next face a West Brom

side who have yet to cement their place in the play-offs, so they still have plenty to play for.

The Baggies have lost one of

their last eight on the road, but there have been plenty of draws for Corberan’s team in that run and this looks like being another tight e

 

ncounter.

News coming your way

Wednesday will have to do without Ian Poveda up front as he has a hamstring injury.

Diaby and Diaby are unlikely to feature, while Ihiekwe is also doubtful.

West Brom welcomed back Brandon Thomas-Asante from suspension and Baggies boss Corberan has no fresh injury concerns.

This clash impacts both ends of the Championship table and victory would be of huge value, but neither team may muster enough to capture those three precious

points.

Albion take a strong away record to Hillsborough and their only defeat in their last eight road games came last time out at leaders Leicester, who are going all guns blazing for an immediate return to the Premier League.

The Baggies performed

d well in losing 2-1 at the King Power and had chances to take something from the match, but they have had problems getting over the line on their travels with five of their previous seven on the road ending level.

So it would not be a surprise if

it was a similar story in Yorkshire, where the Owls have drawn their last three games against Swansea, Norwich and Stoke.

Goals have been an issue for Wednesday but they are showing an ability to dig in under manager Rohl, as they did when they earned their 3-1 win at Blackburn last week that took them out of the drop zone.

But they could find Albion challenging to break down and as seven of their last eight home games have matured

fewer than three goals, there looks a nice chance that this one could also finish level.
