Sheffield Wednesday's recent results have been mixed, with back-to-back draws. Last time out, they were held to a goalless draw by Gillingham, and they were far from their best as they battled to cope with the relegation battlers. But, at home, they usually do a good job as they won 6-0 over Cambridge and 5-2 vs Burton, in March. In the last 9 home games, Sheffield won 7 matches. However, the taste of two recent draws is not good amongst home fans. Excuses are no longer acceptable as this team is made for playoffs at least. Sheffield Wednesday must take advantage of the fact that sixth-placed Sunderland is not in play tomorrow and return to winning ways following two draws in a row. It'll be interesting to see how Wednesday lines up in the middle of the central defense as recalls are being pushed by Dominic Iorfa and Harlee Dean. Dean made a welcome return to action in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Gillingham as a second-half substitute and this is good info for home fans. With 66 points after 38 games, the home team is eighth in League One and have to win here to enter close to the playoff battle. With a win in this game, they can reclaim a postseason berth, and they'll be hoping to do exactly that. Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who has been voted home team player of the month twice this season, has been chosen in Northern Ireland's squad to face Luxembourg in a friendly on Friday evening, a match that would have ruled him out of Wednesday's quest to winning ways... However, rumors from across the Irish Sea claim that a fully fit Peacock-Farrell has yet to join Ian Baraclough's team and will be available for Sheffield's fixture against Cheltenham, giving the home team a huge boost moving into the weekend. Peacock-Farrell has played every match he has been eligible for this summer on loan from Premier League Burnley, missing matches in October and November due to previous international call-ups.

Cheltenham Town were defeated 2-0 by high-flying Plymouth Argyle in their last encounter where we had the bets on Plymouth back then. And while they deserved more from the game, they were unable to get past the goalkeeper in the opposition goal. With 50 points from 39 games, the away team are in 12th place in the rankings.

The freshly promoted side looks certain to keep their League One status this season, with a top-half finish now their goal. But, it will be hard to do anything well here as the home team wants to get rid of draws and make 3 points game, so be sure to expect the dominance of Sheffield in this game from minute 1. The last time when two teams met, it was in October 2021, in a game where Sheffield dropped a victory in the 91st minute of the game. Think this time they won't fail as it's the first of all match at home, where they usually do a better job than on the road... Therefore, I predict a 2-1 or 2-0 home win in this clash.

谢菲尔德星期三最近的结果喜忧参半，背靠背平局。在上次的比赛中，他们被吉林厄姆0 - 0逼平，而且他们还远远没有达到他们最好的状态，因为他们正在与保级战的对手搏斗。但是，在主场，他们通常做得很好，他们在三月6-0战胜剑桥，5-2战胜伯顿。在最近的9场主场比赛中，谢菲尔德赢了7场。然而，最近的两支球队的味道在国内球迷中并不好。借口不再被接受，因为这支球队至少是为季后赛而战。谢菲尔德星期三必须利用目前排名第六的桑德兰明天没有比赛的机会，在连续两场平局后重新回到胜利的状态。随着多米尼克•Iorfa和哈莉•迪恩(Harlee Dean)推动召回行动，周三的中央辩护将会是一件有趣的事情。在周六1-1战平吉林厄姆的比赛中，迪安下半场替补出场，这对主场球迷来说是个好消息。38场比赛拿下66分，主队在联赛中排名第八，必须在这里获胜才能进入季后赛。在这场比赛中获胜，他们可以重新获得季后赛席位，他们希望做到这一点。贝利·皮科克-法雷尔，本赛季两次被选为主场最佳球员，被选入北爱尔兰周五晚上对阵卢森堡的友谊赛，这场比赛将使他排除在周三寻求胜利的道路之外。然而，爱尔兰海的另一边有传言称，皮科克-法雷尔还没有完全康复，他将在谢菲尔德对切尔特纳姆的比赛中出场，这给了主队一个巨大的推动力。孔雀-法雷尔从英超伯恩利租借而来，参加了这个夏天所有他有资格参加的比赛，由于之前的国家队征召，他错过了10月和11月的比赛。

切尔滕纳姆镇在最后一场比赛中被雄心勃勃的普利茅斯队2-0击败，当时我们在普利茅斯上押了注。虽然他们本应该在比赛中获得更多，但他们却没能越过对方的守门员。客场球队在39场比赛中得到50分，排名第12位。

这支刚升入甲级的球队本赛季看起来肯定会保持甲级联赛的地位，现在他们的进球是上半时的。但是，在这里很难做得很好，因为主队想要摆脱平局并获得3分，所以一定要期待谢菲尔德在这场比赛中从第1分钟开始的统治力。两支球队上一次相遇是在2021年10月，在那场比赛中，谢菲尔德在比赛第91分钟失利。想想这一次他们不会失败，因为这是他们在主场的第一场比赛，他们在主场的表现通常比在客场要好。因此，我预测这场比赛将以2-1或2-0赢得主场比赛。
