Sheffield Wednesday will host Brentford on Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium in their next EFL Championship fixture.
Sheffield Wednesday secured a 1-0 win over Birmingham City on Saturday at St. Andrew's. A second-half penalty from Scotland international Barry Bannan was enough to earn three points for Garry Monk's men.
Brentford, on the other hand, beat Coventry City 2-0 on Saturday at the Brentford Community Stadium. A brace from new signing, striker Ivan Toney, sealed the deal for Thomas Frank's side.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday began their league season with a 12-point deduction, and lie at the bottom of the league table as a result. Much will rely on attackers like Josh Windass and Elias Kachunga, alongside new signing Callum Paterson.
Brentford, on the other hand, narrowly missed out on promotion last season. Key players Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma have departed for Aston Villa and West Ham United respectively, and players like Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney will have to step up if they are to enjoy a positive campaign.
Brentford have had a rocky start to the season, but should have the necessary quality to triumph over Sheffield Wednesday.
Prediction: Brentford 3-0 Sheffield Wednesday
