Sheffield Wednesday host Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday make the tip to Portman Road to face 3rd place Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday.
It’s another tough outing for Danny Rohl‘s side who lost 2-0 vs Leeds United last Friday, with that win seeing Leeds leapfrog Ipswich into 2nd.
The Tractor Boys also lost their last outing, losing 2-1 against Cardiff City to see a run of six-straight wins come to an end.
Last time Sheffield Wednesday played Ipswich Town, the Tactor Boys won 1-0 at Hillsborough earlier in the season.
Sky Sports pundit and former Owls midfielder David Prutton has predicted a 2-1 win for Ipswich Town vs Wednesday on Saturday.
Latest Sheffield Wednesday team news
Wednesday don’t have too many pressing injury concerns right now.
Rohl revealed ahead of the weekend that Callum Paterson is close to a return to action following several weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Elsewhere, it’s expect that Josh Windass, Kristian Pedersen, and Juan Delgado miss the clash vs Ipswich.
Ian Poveda is available again after missing the Leeds United game due to his loan agreement.
Ian Poveda set to return for the Owls
Expect Poveda to be the first change that Rohl makes this weekend, with the Colombian potentially coming in for the 23-year-old Anthony Musaba who is inconsistent right now.
Elsewhere, we could see a largely unchanged line up for Ipswich, though Bambo Diaby may be one player who makes way after a divisive performance vs Leeds.
Rohl said he needed to rest certain players for the Leeds game and so expect Michael Ihiekwe and Will Vaulks to be among those who return to the XI on Saturday.
Dominic Iorfa could also return to the XI in place of Akin Famewo, following Iorfa’s impressive performance vs Plymouth earlier in the month.
