Sheffield Wednesday vs Bristol City prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 22, 2025
One of the matches of the 28th round of the Championship will be played on Wednesday evening at the Hillsborough Arena, where Sheffield Wednesday will host Bristol City. I suggest betting on the goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
Sheffield Wednesday, given their limited resources and ambitions, set themselves the main goal this season – to retain their place in the Championship. At the moment, Danny Rohl's team is handling this challenge quite confidently, sitting in 10th place in the table with 37 points.
The Owls are already 11 points clear of the relegation zone, but they are still a long way from the playoff spots, with sixth-place West Bromwich leading them by 4 points. In the last round, Sheffield Wednesday played an away match against Championship leaders Leeds and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. Overall, the Owls have just one win and two defeats in their last five matches.
On the other hand, Bristol City had a good run in the league, going unbeaten in their last four matches – three wins and one draw. However, they were then knocked out of the FA Cup at home by Wolverhampton, losing 1-2. In their most recent match, Bristol City played away against Coventry City and lost 0-1.
After 27 rounds, Bristol City is in ninth place in the table with 37 points. They are just four points behind the top six teams. In 14 away games, Bristol City has only won three, with six defeats.
