THE PREDICTION

Stoke’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Norwich this past Saturday made it 11 games without a win in all competitions for the Potters and any Championship playoff hopes now look to have become a distant memory. For 22nd placed Sheffield Wednesday however, this contest is a crucial one as they look to break out of the bottom three. The Owls have won three of their last four league games and will be confident of gaining at least a point from a struggling Stoke, especially having enjoyed a rest at the weekend with their game vs Swansea postponed due to a frozen pitch. When taking into account the players Sheffield Wednesday boast within their ranks such as veteran midfielder Barry Bannan and striker Jordan Rhodes, it’s a mystery as to how they find themselves where they are in the table. With the visitors finally starting to show their potential as a team, they should be favoured here draw no bet.
