Sparkles will be flying when Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland square off against each other in the opening match of the Championship round 9.
The Owls made a slow start to the season, with the team still eyeing their first win of the process, but their poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Swansea City is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash.
Both Mohamed Diaby and Mallik Wilks are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to four games at the weekend, with the team losing to Cardiff City in front of home fans.
Sunderland, though, are more of a team than Sheffield Wednesday and we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match.
All Bradley Dack, Dennis Cirkin, Pierre Ekwah, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, Corry Evans, and Ross Stewart are out of contention with injuries.
This match will be played on 29/09/2023 at 20:00
Prediction: 1-2
