Sheffield Wednesday return to action this week and will take on Accrington Stanley at Hillsborough Stadium on Wednesday night.
The League One clash was originally scheduled to be played in December but was postponed due to COVID-19.
Sheffield Wednesday saw their winning run end last time out as they lost 2-0 to Rotterdam United on home turf. Despite having more possession and shot attempts in the game, the hosts failed to create any noteworthy chances to win the game.
The home side sit eighth in League One with 52 points from 31 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways this week as they continue their race for promotion.
Accrington Stanley struggled for form with the turn of the new year but have now bounced back over the last two game weeks. They beat Crewe Alexandra 4-1 in their last game via goals from Tommy Leigh and Sean McConville and a brace from centre-back Ross Sykes.
The visitors sit 12th in the league table with 43 points from 21 games. They will now be looking to continue their newfound form when they play this Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Accrington Stanley Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday's latest result ended a four-game winning streak in which they went without conceding any goals. The loss also marked an end to four straight home league wins and they will now be looking to put that behind them.
Accrington Stanley are on a run of back-to-back victories after going on a six-game winless run in the league. The visitors have won just one of their last six league games on the road and could therefore see defeat this week.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Accrington Stanley
