Sheffield Wednesday are in a fine run of form in recent weeks, having taken three wins and a draw from a run of four tough games.

The Owls have seen off Brentford, Charlton and most impressively, Nottingham Forest in recent weeks.

The 4-0 victory at the City Ground brought Jordan Rhodes back into the picture, and was a result that made fellow Championship teams sit up and take notice.

By contrast, Bristol City have lost both of their two previous games, and sit outside of the play-off places in the lead-up to the weekend.

Former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder David Prutton is predicting a tight game at Hillsborough, but he feels that the Owls will come away with maximum points.

Speaking in his predictions column, he said: “All Sheffield Wednesday can do with this potential points deduction is keep on going into every game trying to get the win and see what happens in the future. And they are making a decent fist of that right now.

“Bristol City have slipped out of the top six after back-to-back defeats and Lee Johnson will be frustrated with their recent performances. This is a chance for them to bounce back, but I think they'll be beaten at Hillsborough.

“Prutton predicts: 2-1.”

Other weekend results predicted by Prutton include a 2-1 win for Leeds United at Fulham and a 2-2 draw between Cardiff City and Preston North End.
