The hosts are the clear favorites! Sheffield Wednesday vs QPR Prediction
One of the fixtures in the fifth round of the Championship will take place on Saturday at Hillsborough, where Sheffield Wednesday will host QPR. Here's a prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Sheffield Wednesday
The "Owls" disappointed with their performances last season, fighting to retain their place in the Championship. In the end, Sheffield Wednesday managed to secure survival, thanks to three consecutive victories that settled all doubts.
However, judging by their start to this season, no significant improvements were made during the offseason. After four rounds, Sheffield Wednesday sit 20th in the table, just one point clear of the relegation zone.
Yet, they started the campaign brightly, dismantling Plymouth's defense at home in a 4-0 win. Riding that momentum, the Owls triumphed 2-1 against Hull City in the League Cup. But this was followed by three consecutive defeats to Sunderland (0-4), Leeds (0-2), and Millwall (0-3). The only team they’ve managed to score against since mid-August is Grimsby Town in the League Cup, beating them 5-1.
QPR
The "Super Hoops" ended last season with three consecutive wins, which ensured their place in the Championship. In this new campaign, QPR began with a 1-3 home loss to West Brom.
However, as subsequent matches demonstrated, the loss to West Brom was an unfortunate slip. QPR advanced in the League Cup with a 2-1 victory over Cambridge United and followed that up with draws against Plymouth and Sheffield United.
In their most recent outing, QPR travelled to Luton Town and secured a 2-1 away victory. They had previously beaten the same opponent on penalties in the League Cup.
