1st Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday: Full time result: Sheffield Wednesday 51/20
Saturday’s FA Cup tie sees two Championship teams face off against each other which should make for a reasonably tight affair. Despite this, the home side are firm favourites in the eyes of the bookmakers which makes predicting Sheffield Wednesday to win fairly fruitful. Danny Röhl’s side currently sit in 10th place in the Championship and in surprise contention for a playoff sport having gathered 37 points from 26 games. Frank Lampard’s men, on the other hand, have only 29 points from their 26 games and sit in 17th place after struggling to consistently replicate good performances so far. The Owls also come into the game in better form than the Sky Blues, having picked up eight points in their last five league games whilst their hosts have picked up just five points in that time.2nd Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday: Both teams to score: yes
Those looking for a safer prediction ahead of Saturday’s game should consider predicting both teams to score. Since Frank Lampard took charge of Coventry in mid-December, they have scored 12 goals in nine games and only failed to find the back of the net twice in that time period. What makes these numbers look more impressive is the fact that Coventry have been able to maintain this good scoring record without star attacker Haji Wright, who is still the Sky Blues’ top scorer despite not having played since early November, and that they have missed the most big chances out of any team in the Championship, therefore showing that there is much more scoring potential in the team. As for Sheffield Wednesday, Danny Röhl has turned his side into somewhat of a goalscoring machine as they have scored the fifth-most goals in the Championship and created the fifth-most xG of any team in the division. They have been in excellent form in front of goal recently, scoring 12 times in their last five games.3rd Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday: Josh Windass to score at any time 13/4
The form attacker heading into this game is the Owls’ attacking midfielderJosh Windass. The 31-year-old is Sheffield Wednesday’s top scorer with 10 goals in 24 Championship games and he has been in particularly good form of late. Windass has scored five times in his last six games for the Owls and, in the one game where he did not score, he was still able to assist a teammate. The former Rangers man has been the key to his sides’ attacking success in recent weeks and the Coventry defence will have a hard time stopping him on Saturday. But, this prediction does come with an element of risk as Widnass is heavily linked with a move to Brazilian giants Santos and Saturday’s fixture is a cup game which could see Danny Röhl decide to start the Englishman on the bench.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
There has been one big change since the sides last met in October as Coventry City legend Mark Robins has been replaced in the dugout by Frank Lampard. Despite showing some flashes of brilliance, particularly when Ephron Mason-Clark was fit, Coventry’s fortunes have largely remained unchanged as they find themselves in 17th place in the second tier and closer to the relegation zone than the playoffs. As for Sheffield Wednesday, they have continued to make good progress under Danny Röhl in the last few months and they sit in 10th place in the Championship, seven places higher than their hosts on Saturday. But, as the fixture is a cup game both sides might take a very different approach to proceedings. With Coventry not having anything major to fight for in the league, Frank Lampard may put out a stronger side than Danny Röhl, who may have an eye on making a charge into the playoff positions in the second half of the season, which could see a minor upset on the cards.
