THE PREDICTION
This is a crucial match for managerless Sheffield Wednesday who currently sit amongst the Championship bottom three, having beaten opponents Coventry 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Hillsborough back in December. The Sky Blues have won just once in their last six league games and this represents a huge opportunity for them to put another three points between them and a relegation candidate. Like the game in Yorkshire, this match is expected to be a cagey affair with the ramifications of defeat big for both sides. Coventry are hampered by the suspension of defender Kyle McFadzean and the visitors will be hoping to take advantage of that potential weakness within the Coventry backline. Whilst they have not shown it throughout the season, the visitors boast a strong squad on paper and if they start well in this match, they are more than capable of picking up at least a point if not all three with the likes of Callum Paterson and Josh Windass in attack, so consider Sheffield Wednesday draw no bet.
