da spicy bet: Sheffield Wednesday have had a turbulent few seasons, but the current incumbents of the final Championship play-off place are right to be filled with optimism for the remainder of the campaign.
da lvbet: Consistency is the key in Championship football and any side that can put together a run of good form has a chance of pushing for a promotion spot late in the season. Wednesday are one side that need to be wary of potential good form in the chasing back.
Sixth position seems nice enough in May, but that can easily turn to 11th by April and you end the season with a campaign that never really achieved anything.
On the other hand, five good performances in the fixtures we are about to bring you could begin Wednesday’s path to the Premier League.
The play-offs are unpredictable and you need a fair bit of luck to succeed, but what club wouldn’t love the chance to play at Wembley?
Tractor Boys come to town
Ipswich travel to Hillsborough in mid-April and both sides are likely to be as close as they are now.
The Tractor Boys currently have a game in hand on Wednesday, and will overtake them if they win it, whilst Wednesday will hope their easier run of fixtures before this game can help them to build some momentum.
Addicks walkover
Having only won one of their last seven league games, Charlton look doomed for relegation. The Addicks are seven points away from safety and this is simply a must-win game for Wednesday.
After this game, Wednesday face Huddersfield and Blackburn and anything other than a comfortable win here will damage the momentum they had built.
Promotion candidates
April 23rd – set the date in your diaries.
Derby, who are likely to still be aiming for automatic promotion, face Sheffield Wednesday, who are only four points behind them at the moment.
A draw will be a brilliant result in a tricky away game for Wednesday, whilst anything less than a win could leave Derby’s promotion hopes in tatters.
Welsh travellers
Cardiff are one of Wednesday’s biggest challengers for the final couple of play-off spots. If results go as many would expect, their meeting on the penultimate day of the season could have a seismic impact on the top six battle.
Off the field distractions have diminished to allow Cardiff the opportunity to really focus on their football and the Welsh side are ready to seize on any mistake by any of the top six.
Wild Wolves
Wolves’ indifferent form has seen them meander into a season of mediocrity. Mid-table security is nice for some, but the Molineux fan base will have hoped for so much more.
The final day of the season nearly always throws up some shocks in Championship football and this final day clash will be no difference.
Wolves have the quality to cause Wednesday problems and it could be the match that kills off the final embers of play-off hope.
