Sheffield Wednesday vs Portsmouth Prediction

There is little motivation left this season for either of the two teams in this fixture. Sheffield have enjoyed a tremendous season so far and will be mightily pleased with their efforts to get into the playoffs. For much of the early part of the season, they looked out of sorts and barely showed any signs of getting into the playoff places. However, a strong run of results since late December has catapulted them to fourth in the League One standings.

Their rivals, on the other hand, will look at this campaign as another season of disappointment. Despite hovering around playoff positions for much of the season, inconsistent outcomes during the month of February entirely derailed their campaign.

Pompey have made a decent comeback since late March, however, it has been too little too late. Another season has gone begging for them.

A closely-fought game is on the cards with the hosts picking up the win.
