Sheffield Wednesday VS Sunderland Match Preview & Prediction
Sunderland travel to Hillsborough, as they look to turn around a run of disappointing results in their search for promotion.
Over 3,800 Sunderland fans, will be making the 250 mile round trip to South Yorkshire, to back their team.
Last time out, Sunderland lost their 2nd match in a row and their first loss of the season at home against Hull City, who beat The Black Cats 0-1 at The Stadium of Light last week.
Sunderland now sit 4th, 8 points behind Sheffield United in 2nd, and a win for them would see them go to within 5 points, at least until The Blades play QPR tomorrow.
The Owls have also hit a bad run of form, losing 3 of their last 4 matches, as they have seen their play-offs hopes go very slim as they have moved down to 13th, 6 points off the top 6.
The last time the 2 sides met at Hillsborough, Sunderland came out 0-3 winners, thanks to a brace from Jack Clarke and a goal from Dan Ballard.
When the 2 sides met at The Stadium of Light earlier in the season, the Black Cats blew the Owls’ away with a 4-0 victory, back in August.
