THE PREDICTION
Sheffield Wednesday appears to be a club in crisis on and off the pitch, with rumours of players not being paid in full and coming off the back of a midweek defeat away to Nottingham Forest to leave them rock bottom of the Championship. They have now lost their last four league games and this weekend face a Coventry side in good form having not lost in their last eight Championship matches. Owls boss Tony Pulis is yet to find a winning formula and his solution may to be simply revert to basics in this match. Putting men behind the ball in bulk and utilising set pieces as much as possible. Six of Coventry last eight games have seen under 2.5 goals scored and considering the struggles Wednesday are currently facing in front of goal, scoring just four time in the eight fixtures that Pulis has been in charge, it would be a big surprise if this match did not see under 2.5 goals scored.
