Stoke vs Sheffield Wednesday: Predictions
Michael O’Neill’s side tasted a heavy defeat to Norwich on Saturday as the hosts put four past the travelling Stoke. The turn of the year has brought defeats from the three sides which were relegated from the Premier League last season and four draws which has left Stoke seven points adrift of the playoff spots.
Despite three wins in their last four games, Sheffield still sits in the relegation zone but Neil Thompson will be hopeful of survival if his side can keep their recent form up.
Stoke will still have their eyes on making the playoffs this season, however, Wednesday’s recent form suggests the hosts should not overlook the challenge they may face in Tuesday’s clash.
Tuesday offers Stoke a great opportunity to get their season back on track against a side which finds themselves in a relegation battle this season but it could also see them slip further afloat from their playoff hopes if they underestimate the challenge the Owls can provide.
