David Prutton delivers prediction for 'must-win' Sheffield Wednesday clash vs Wycombe Wanderers

The Owls suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Millwall on Saturday to prevent them from picking up a third consecutive victory in the league.

That result means that Wednesday are second-bottom in the table, with only tonight's opponents beneath them.

For their part, Wycombe look to be in danger of being cut adrift from their relegation rivals, and go into their clash at Hillsborough nine points behind the Owls, and 12 points from safety.

A run of four matches without a win, including a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in their last outing, has done little to aid their survival hopes.

And Prutton believes that they will suffer another blow this evening.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the pundit said: “Sheffield Wednesday will be so disappointed to lose the way they did against Millwall on Saturday, especially after taking the lead.

“This is a good chance for them to get back to winning ways.

"It really is a must-win game against a Wycombe side who look destined for the drop.

"Common sense tells me this is a home win.”

Prutton has predicted a 2-1 victory for Wednesday.

Wanderers did, however, win the last meeting between these two sides back in October.

A David Wheeler header was enough to seal all three points for the Chairboys that day.

Prior to that defeat, the Owls had never lost against Wycombe, winning three and drawing one of their previous four meetings.
