The Championship match between Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday may be entertaining for a number of reasons.
Take, for example, Bristol City. Following the recent departure of Nigel Pearson, the Robins suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Cardiff City after losing 1-0 at home to Ipswich Town.
With just one win in their last three league games, the club is in 15th heading into this weekend’s round of matchups.
This weekend, though, offers the Robins a fantastic opportunity to take all three points, especially when you factor in that they are the home side.
Indeed, they welcome the Championship’s bottom side Sheffield Wednesday to The Den, with the Owls having just a single league victory under their belts so far.
That victory did come last time out against Rotherham United, though, so the Owls could be playing with some renewed confidence heading into this weekend.
With the game potentially looking close heading into the weekend, it’s somewhat surprise that David Prutton is backing Sheffield Wednesday in this one.
Indeed, the Sky Sports EFL commentator and columnist is tipping Danny Rohl’s Owls to win back-to-back games after they won 2-1 away at managerless Bristol City.
Prutton commented on Sky Sports about the game and his reasoning for his prediction, saying, “The outpouring of frustration among Bristol City fans since the departure of Nigel Pearson shows you everything you need to know about what kind of man he is, and what it felt like he was building there.”
“Sheffield Wednesday finally got off to a winning start this season when they defeated Rotherham at home last Sunday.”
“That should give them some real confidence, but they’re still a long way down.” I have a hunch they’ll slip this one in. “My prediction is 1-2.”
Bristol City vs. Sheffield Wednesday is set to take place on Saturday, November 4th, with a 3pm kick-off at Ashton Gate.
