Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford
English League Championship
Date: Tuesday, 21st February 2017
Kick off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Hillsborough, Sheffield.
Sheffield Wednesday will still be without Morgan Fox as they chase a fifth successive Sky Bet Championship win when Brentford visit.
The left-back suffered an ankle injury in the 2-1 victory over Blackburn last week and missed the win at Nottingham Forest over the weekend.
He has returned to training but the visit of the Bees is likely to come too soon.
Tom Lees is still missing with a knee injury, with boss Carlos Carvalhal admitting he does not know how serious it is, while Gary Hooper (thigh) is also out.
Brentford will be without Philipp Hofmann due to a back injury.
The German forward has had an injection in a bid to solve the problem and could be fit to face Rotherham on Saturday.
Nico Yennaris has been carrying a calf injury recently but will be fit to continue in midfield.
Rico Henry (shoulder) and Alan Judge (broken leg) are back in training as they build up their fitness following long spells out.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford: Head-to-head
Wednesday are unbeaten in the last 7 matches against Brentford with 4 wins and 3 draws.
The reverse fixture of the current campaign saw the teams sharing the points after settling for a 1-1 stalemate.
Brentford’s last away match at Sheffield end in a humbling 4-0
defeat. They are win-less in the last three visits here with 2 losses
and a draw. Also, they failed to find the back of the net on each
occasion.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford: Prediction
Brentford have been very poor in away matches this season and their
overall form coming to this match is inconsistent. On the back of a
strong league form and excellent home record, one can find the perfect
value in backing Sheffield for a win here.
