Match Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Coventry City

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They've managed to nick a couple of draws and a win, but those home losses to Bristol City and Swansea will be playing on their minds.

They'll need to be sharp and take their chances if they want to get one over on Coventry. The Owls will look to exploit their home advantage and press high to disrupt Coventry's rhythm.

Coventry City, on the other hand, have been in fine fettle. Four wins and a draw in their last five, including a thumping of Millwall, show they're in good nick. 

They'll fancy their chances away from home, especially with their solid defence and potent attack. It'll be a tough test for Sheffield Wednesday, but Coventry might just have the edge

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been inconsistent. They've managed to secure a win and two draws, but those home losses to Bristol City and Swansea are a concern. 

They'll need to be more solid at the back and clinical in front of goal if they want to turn things around. The Owls will aim to capitalise on their home advantage to return to winning ways.

• Draw: 2-2 vs Birmingham City (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Queens Park Rangers (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Portsmouth (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Bristol City (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Swansea City (H)

Coventry City are in top form, with four wins and a draw in their last five games. They've been scoring goals for fun and keeping things tight at the back. This kind of form will give them confidence going into this match. They'll be looking to continue their winning streak and put pressure on Sheffield Wednesday from the off.

• Win: 4-0 vs Millwall (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs Birmingham City (H)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Leicester City (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Norwich City (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)

With Bannan pulling the strings in midfield and Cadamarteri leading the line, Sheffield Wednesday will look to control possession and create chances. Their recent form suggests they need to be more clinical in front of goal.

• Predicted lineup: Rushworth, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva, Torp, Grimes, Sakomoto, Eccles, Thomas-Asante, Wright

Coventry's solid defence, led by Thomas and Kitching, will be key to their success. With Wright up front, they'll look to hit Sheffield Wednesday on the break.

• Cadamarteri vs Thomas: Cadamarteri will need to be at his best to outmuscle Thomas and create scoring opportunities for Sheffield Wednesday.

• J. Lowe vs Kitching: Lowe's will be crucial, but he'll have to get past Kitching's strength to make an impact.

• Cadamarteri (Sheffield Wednesday): Cadamarteri's goal-scoring prowess will be vital for Sheffield Wednesday if they want to secure a win.

• Torp (Coventry City): Torp's ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball effectively will be key to Coventry's success.
