Match Preview
Sheffield Wednesday is currently enduring a nightmare season in the Championship. The Owls have failed to earn a single point in their last five fixtures. It is truly worrying for the fans at Hillsborough to see their team struggle so much in front of goal lately.
The manager Henrik Pedersen faces a massive selection headache with eleven players currently out injured. Key defenders like Dominic Iorfa and Di Shon Bernard are missing. This makes it very difficult to organize a back line that is already conceding 2.13 goals per game.
Confidence is at an all time low for the home side after six games without scoring. Even with Barry Bannan trying to pull the strings in midfield, the strikers are simply not converting. The statistics show they only hit 2.4 shots on target per match.
Wrexham comes into this match with plenty of momentum and Hollywood dreams still alive. Phil Parkinson has his side sitting in a playoff spot. They have lost just once in their last five games and look very comfortable playing away from home currently.
Kieffer Moore has been the star man for the Dragons with ten goals already. His physical presence will be a massive problem for the weakened Wednesday defense. Wrexham averages 1.21 goals per away match and they usually find a way to score.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last three away trips and look solid defensively. They concede just 1.07 goals on average when traveling. This disciplined approach should be enough to overcome the league's bottom side. We expect Today's Championship Predictions to favor the visitors.

Prediction
Wrexham to Win @1.55
Wrexham is clearly the superior side heading into this match at Hillsborough. The Dragons sit 6th in the table and have a scoring streak of 9 consecutive games. Facing a Wednesday team that has not scored in 6 matches makes the away win very likely. Wrexham averages 1.43 points per away game and their 1.07 goals conceded average proves they are defensively elite right now.
The Owls are currently in a state of crisis with 0 points from their last 5 outings. With 11 players unavailable due to injury, the home side lacks the depth to compete with a promotion contender. Wednesday averages a poor 0.47 goals at home and concedes 2.13 goals per match. Everything points toward a comfortable victory for the visitors as they chase the top 5 positions.
