Stoke City boss makes Sheffield Wednesday prediction ahead of ‘exciting’ clash
Stoke City manager, Mark Robins, says that Sheffield Wednesday are ‘coached really well’, and predicted how they’re going to play on Friday afternoon.
The Potters know that a home victory in front of what is set to be a record-breaking crowd at the bet365 Stadium will see them hit the 50-point mark in the Championship, a number that should see them take a big step towards second-tier safety.
Standing in their way, however, is a Wednesday side that have been excellent away from home this season, however Danny Röhl’s side find themselves hanging in mid-table mediocrity going into the final four games. The Owls’ position is a marked improvement from last season, however there is some lingering disappointment that they weren’t able to keep their play-off push alive for longer.
Robins, who is no stranger to Wednesday having played for them in the early 2000s and managed against them on 12 different occasions – five of them with Röhl as his opposite number – is looking forward to the game in Staffordshire, and feels like belief is coming back for his side.
