Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City Prediction: Stokes aiming to move up the table

Sheffield Wednesday will welcome Stoke City at Hillsborough Stadium in Game Week 22 of the English Championship. Stokes will be aiming to move up the table in this game. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Sheffield Wednesday will return to Hillsborough this Saturday hoping to pick two back-to-back Championship wins to close the gap to the playoff places. Last season, the Owls barely avoided relegation and are doing well under Danny Rohl this season. Currently, they sit at ninth place with 29 points from 21 games. Despite the problems at home, where they have managed only 13 points in 11 matches, Sheffield Wednesday has come out with three wins in their last five away games, including a 3-1 victory over Oxford United last weekend.

With only a five-point gap to the playoff spots and sitting four points above the bottom half of the table, Sheffield Wednesday will be keen to consolidate their position in the top half of the Championship with a win at home. With talk of Rohl potentially leaving the club, the Owls will be looking to enhance their home form and maintain their recent good run of results.

Their fans are looking forward to the weekend's match at Hillsborough and hoping that they will stop their recent bad form and keep their downfall in the Championship standings. Stoke City could not win a game during their last seven matches and has had a streak from early November. The current position of the team, in the Championship, has been in 17th place following a series of draws and losses. Despite a late equalizer in their last game against Cardiff City, they are still struggling in the standings. Stoke City will need to improve their performance to start climbing back up the table.

Despite facing difficulties at Hillsborough this season, Sheffield Wednesday should be able to defeat Stoke City, who are currently lacking momentum, thanks to their improved form and recent victory, which has boosted their confidence.
