• Sheffield Wednesday have lost their last two home league games

• Bristol City are unbeaten in their last five league fixtures

• Recommended bet: Bristol City to win

Bristol City are one of the Championship’s four remaining unbeaten teams and they will be striving to continue their positive start when taking on cash-strapped Sheffield Wednesday in South Yorkshire.

The Robins reached the play-offs last term but were far from convincing on their travels, with just 22 points gained from 23 road trips.

However, they have taken four points from two away games this season and will be targeting a win over Wednesday, who are second bottom with one point from a possible 12.

With the transfer window closed, salvation seems a long way away for Sheffield Wednesday, who are operating with a threadbare squad.

Henrik Pedersen’s side lost 2-0 at home to Swansea before the international break and may have to get used to being stuck in the relegation zone.

Team news

Sheffield Wednesday defender Gui Siqueira has undergone Achilles surgery and has been ruled out for the rest of the season. 

Siqueira joins Pierce Charles, Di’Shon Bernard and Nathaniel Chalobah in the Owls’ treatment room. However, defender Harry Amass could be involved after joining on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

Joe Williams and Max O’Leary (both ankle) are still out of contention for Bristol City, while Luke McNally (knee) is a long-term absentee. However, left back Neto Borges could be involved after joining on loan from Middlesbrough. 

Jamie Knight-Lebel and Adam Murphy have sealed loan moves to Swindon and Sam Bell has made a temporary switch to Wycombe.

Prediction

Bristol City see themselves as potential promotion contenders and they should have too much quality for Sheffield Wednesday, who look set for an extremely difficult campaign.

It has been a dismal summer for Wednesday, who have seen their team weakened by the departure of several senior players.

The Owls have got off to a predictably poor start and it is hard to see them turning the corner any time soon.

They suffered home losses to Stoke (0-3) and Swansea (0-2) and further misery could be inflicted by sixth-placed Bristol City, who are a solid wager to register their third league win of the campaign.
