There is very little to choose from between the two sides, as evidenced by their close proximity in the table. Ipswich Town have been the more consistent side but Sheffield Wednesday have home advantage in their favor.

The two sides still have a shot at promotion through the playoffs and are likely to each go out for the win. However, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.
