Sheffield Wednesday vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Sheffield are looking like sure bankers to be relegated, going without a win in their opening 10 games. The Owls have made the worst start to a campaign in club history. Their defeat to West Brom left them seven points away from safety and saw them part ways with Xisco Munoz.
Caretaker manager Neil Thompson will hope to kickstart his tenure with a win against another struggling side in a potential relegation six-pointer. Huddersfield's games on their travels tend to be open affairs, so it will be interesting to see how the visitors fare against the league's worst attack.
A cagey game can be expected in South Yorkshire, but expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
