Match Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Bristol City

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been poor, with three losses and a draw in their last four matches. They have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in these games. 

Bristol City have shown more promise, securing two wins and two draws in their recent outings. Their ability to score freely, as evidenced by their 4-2 and 4-1 victories, could pose a significant threat to Sheffield Wednesday's defence.

Despite Sheffield Wednesday's struggles, playing at home might give them a slight advantage. However, Bristol City's attacking prowess and solid defensive performances in their recent matches suggest they could exploit Wednesday's vulnerabilities. 

The game is likely to be competitive, but Bristol City's current form and confidence might just see them edge out a victory.

Sheffield Wednesday have had a challenging run of form, losing three of their last four matches and drawing the other. Their inability to secure a win, coupled with a lack of goals, indicates a team struggling to find their rhythm. 

This poor run could impact their confidence going into the match against Bristol City. They will need to improve their defensive solidity and find a way to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to turn their fortunes around.

• Loss: 0-2 vs Swansea City (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Wrexham (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Stoke City (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Leicester City (A)

Bristol City have shown good form in their recent matches, winning two and drawing two. Their ability to score goals, as seen in their 4-2 win against Hull City and 4-1 victory over Sheffield United, highlights their attacking threat. 

This positive run of results should boost their confidence as they face Sheffield Wednesday. If they can maintain their defensive solidity and continue their scoring form, they are well-positioned to secure another positive result.

Sheffield Wednesday's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure while relying on the creativity of Barry Bannan to unlock Bristol City's defence. Their recent form indicates a need for more clinical finishing from their forwards to turn draws and losses into wins. Manchester United loanee Harry Amass is available to make his Wednesday debut if called upon.

• Vitek, Vyner, Dickie, Atkinson, Sykes, Knight, Randell, McCrorie, Twine, Mehmeti, Riis

Bristol City's predicted lineup indicates a balanced approach, with an emphasis on both defensive stability and attacking flair. Their recent performances suggest they will look to exploit Sheffield Wednesday's defensive frailties with the pace and skill of their forwards. Brazilian full-back Neto Borges could make his debut for City after joining on loan from Middlesbrough.

• Liam Palmer vs Ross McCrorie: Palmer's defensive solidity will be crucial in containing McCrorie's attacking runs from the back.

• Barry Bannan vs Jason Knight: Bannan's creativity will be tested against Knight's defensive discipline in midfield. 

• Jamal Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday): Lowe's pace and finishing ability could be key to Sheffield Wednesday's chances of scoring.

• Anis Mehmeti (Bristol City): Mehmeti's flair and goal-scoring threat will be vital for Bristol City's attacking efforts.
