THE PREDICTION
For Sheffield Wednesday the equation here is simple. Defeat will see them relegated from the Championship with a game still to play. They host a Nottingham Forest side sat safely in midtable, but without a win in four league matches which should provide the Owls with hope that they can capitalise. Forest boss Chris Hughton will no doubt have his eyes on the summer now, assessing his squad and identifying which players to keep and who to ship out. Questions must be raised over whether the visitors will be up for the fight here against a side who will surely be leaving everything out on the pitch as they battle for their lives. That extra desire to cover every blade of grass and win every 50-50 could be the difference in this one and providing the Owls’ frontline can show their obvious quality in front of goal that has been absent far too often this season, then they may just be able to take their relegation fight to the final day with a precious three points here.
