- 谢菲尔德星期三在过去的九场锦标赛中只赢了两场
- 桑德兰在过去的十场联赛中只输了两场
- 黑猫队在8月份的反向比赛中以4比0击败猫头鹰队
黑猫可以在希尔斯伯勒反弹
桑德兰上周一在埃兰路的失利是可以原谅的，利兹现在以5分的优势领先冠军，但黑猫队周六在主场以1比0输给赫尔城的比赛就不那么容易原谅了。
老虎队正在与降级作斗争，桑德兰队当天表现不佳，现在发现自己落后排名第二的谢菲尔德联队8分，不太可能自动晋级。
然而，尽管黑猫队在周六的失利中令人失望，但雷吉斯·勒布里斯仍然拥有一支极具天赋的球队，他们的实力应该在周五的希尔斯伯勒比赛中得到体现。
桑德兰将取得重要胜利
谢菲尔德星期三队最近几周的愿望破灭了，他们在九场联赛中取得了两场胜利，距离前六名仅12分和6分，上周五他们以4比0被伯恩利击败。
桑德兰在8月份的比赛中以同样的比分击败了周三的比赛，虽然这次事情可能不会那么简单，但勒布里斯的球队应该仍然能够在钢铁城获得全部三分。
丹尼·罗尔；黑猫队在过去的七场客场比赛中，只有一场没有进球，这表明他们可能有足够的进球，但黑猫队的年轻球星应该将东道主的进球数翻一番，以确保2:1的胜利。
- Sheffield Wednesday have won just two of their last nine Championship games
- Sunderland have lost only two of their last ten league matches
- The Black Cats routed the Owls 4-0 in August’s reverse fixture
Black Cats can bounce back at Hillsborough
Excuses can be made for Sunderland’s late collapse at Elland Road last Monday, with Leeds now five points clear at the top of the Championship, but the Black Cats’ 1-0 home loss to Hull on Saturday is far less forgivable.
The Tigers are battling relegation and Sunderland, who were poor that day, now find themselves eight points behind second-placed Sheffield United and unlikely to finish in an automatic-promotion spot.
However, while the Black Cats were disappointing in Saturday’s defeat, Regis Le Bris still has a supremely talented squad at his disposal and their quality should show at Hillsborough on Friday.
Sunderland set for important victory
Sheffield Wednesday have seen their own aspirations dashed in recent weeks, with a run of two wins in nine league games leaving them 12th and six points off the top six, and they were routed 4-0 by Burnley last Friday.
Sunderland beat Wednesday by that same scoreline in August’s reverse fixture and while things may not be so straightforward this time, Le Bris’ side should still be able to secure all three points in the Steel City.
Danny Rohl’s side have failed to score in just one of their last seven Championship away games, suggesting they may have enough to find the net, but the Black Cats’ youthful stars should double their hosts’ tally to secure a 2-1 win.
