The EFL Championship match between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United will take place at Hillsborough on Saturday at 1:30 am IST.
In a very important game for both teams in the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United will play against each other at Hillsborough on Saturday. Sheffield Wednesday, who are struggling near the bottom of the table, won their last four games, putting them close to safety. Leeds United, on the other hand, are just two points away from the top two teams and are also in good form.
Sheffield Wednesday are feeling positive as they prepare for their important match on Friday, as they fight to avoid relegation from the Championship this season. Under Danny Rohl’s management, they’ve improved their form and are now on a four-game winning streak, their best performance of the season. Despite a tough period earlier in the year, they’ve bounced back strongly. With recent wins against teams like Millwall, Bristol City, and Rotherham United, they’re gaining momentum. They’re now only two points behind teams like Plymouth, Blackburn, and Millwall. With 10 games left in the season, a win on Friday could lift them out of the relegation zone for the first time in a while.
Leeds United are on an impressive streak, going unbeaten in 11 Championship matches since the start of the year. Despite setbacks in late 2023, they’ve bounced back strongly under manager Daniel Farke. They had a fantastic run of nine straight wins, including a big victory over league leaders Leicester City. However, their streak ended with a draw against Huddersfield Town. In their last match, they beat Stoke City 1-0, helping Sheffield Wednesday in the process. Although they’re still a few points behind the top teams, Leeds will aim to continue their good form and climb into the automatic promotion spots with a win against Sheffield Wednesday, a team they haven’t beaten since 2019.
Sheffield Wednesday probable starting lineup: Beadle, Valentin, Iorfa, Ihiekwe, Bernard, Johnson, Musaba, Vaulks, Bannan, Gassama, Ugbo
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Meslier, Roberts, Ampadu, Rodon, Byram, Gruev, Kamara, James, Rutter, Summerville, Bamford
