Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to bounce back from their defeat last weekend and climb closer to safety in the Championship under the management of Danny Rohl. After a difficult start to the season, with only one victory and 13 defeats in their first 17 games, they managed to turn their fortunes around with four wins and 13 points in their next eight matches. They started the year strongly with a 3-1 victory over Hull City and a 4-0 thrashing of Cardiff City in the FA Cup. However, their momentum was halted with a 4-0 defeat to Southampton. Despite the setback, Sheffield Wednesday will be eager to close the four-point gap to safety and improve their position in the fight for survival. But they face another tough challenge against one of the Championship's in-form teams.
Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineup
Beadle; Valentin, Ihiekwe, Bernard, Johnson; Vaulks, Bannan; Gassama, Windass, Musaba; Cadamarteri
Coventry City form
Coventry City will return to action this weekend in excellent form after an impressive run of results. Despite a difficult start, they have managed to climb into the Championship playoff positions. After a defeat to Ipswich Town in December, the team went on an unbeaten streak and gained 18 points from their last eight matches. They have secured five victories, including a 2-0 win over this weekend's opponents on Boxing Day. Following a draw with Swansea City, Coventry City achieved consecutive league wins and three straight triumphs in all competitions in the new year. They started the year with a 3-1 victory against Middlesbrough and followed it up with a dominant 6-2 win against Oxford United in the FA Cup. In their most recent match, they defeated league leaders Leicester City 3-1, coming from behind in the final 15 minutes. This victory has propelled them into the top six in the league. With last season's playoff final heartbreak in mind, Coventry City will be motivated to solidify their position in the playoffs in the upcoming matches, beginning with a third consecutive victory this Saturday.
Coventry City Predicted Lineup
Collins; Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell; Sheaf, Eccles; Sakamoto, O'Hare, Palmer; Godden
