West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday: the forecast for the Championship match
West Brom will host Sheffield Wednesday on February 8 in the 31st round of the Championship. Will the Thrushes be able to justify their status as the favorite, get a victory and gain a foothold in the playoff zone, or will the Owls extend their successful streak and remain undefeated?
Command Analysis
West Bromwich Albion
EnglandCurrent form
West Brom, until the start of the season, was considered a clear contender for a place in the playoffs - the selection of players did not allow them to compete with Leeds and Burnley for a direct ticket to the Premier League, but Tony Mowbray's team could count on a place in the top six. At the moment, the Thrushes are in sixth place in the table with 44 points and are ahead of Middlesbrough only due to additional indicators. In the last round, West Brom unexpectedly lost 1-2 to the outsider Plymouth, having suffered their second defeat in the last three rounds.

Approximate composition: Palmer –Furlong, Holgate, Heggam, Styles –Fellows, Mowett, Swift, Johnston–Diangana, Wallace.
Sheffield Wednesday
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Sheffield Wednesday was not among the obvious contenders for a playoff berth and mainly relied on maintaining its registration in the Championship. However, in the first round, Danny Rohl's team looked very decent and appeared in the top six several times, but failed to gain a foothold there. At the moment, the Owls are in 10th place in the table with 42 points, but they are only two points behind their current opponent. Having drawn 1-1 with Luton in the last round, Sheffield Wednesday extended their unbeaten streak to three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Iorfa is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Sheffield Wednesday have not lost in their last three matches, with two draws and a win.
- In the last two matches, Sheffield Wednesday have scored against West Brom
Approximate composition: Biddle–Lowe, Bernard, Ihiekwe, Valerie–Gassama, Bannan, Charles, Paterson–Windass, Lowe.

2.37Tip and bets
West Brom, after losing to Plymouth, put themselves in a very dangerous position – another mistake could result in relegation from the top six. It is obvious that the Thrushes intend to gain a foothold in the playoff zone and today they will be determined to win as much as possible. It will be very difficult for Sheffield Wednesday to count on points against the Hawthorns - the Owls have scored only one victory in the last four matches, they have not lost in the last five matches to the Blackbirds, and in general they are inferior to the hosts in terms of player selection.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The forecast is a West Brom victory. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.17
Bet on the total
West Brom will definitely only play to win today – any other result will almost certainly knock the team out of the top six. Despite a number of problems, the Thrushes are more than successful in attack, especially on their own field, and the guests have a minimum chance of playing reliably. At the same time, West Brom have serious problems in defense, Sheffield Wednesday will certainly have their chances, and at least one of them will be able to turn into a goal.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Betting on corners
West Brom are the favorites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the hosts should win confidently from the corners.
The bet is West Brom's victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.71
