Sheffield Wednesday v Bolton – Mid-table meet of two former greats

Only one of two games with both sides are not either chasing the play-offs or fighting to avoid relegation. But with the season almost at its end the players will want to give their fans something to shout about in the penultimate game of the season.

In their last 4 games there has been a staggering 23 goals scored. Safety was secured with a Good Friday victory at Bournemouth with fans applauding the work of Stuart Gray to bring on Leon Best when down to 10 men. Who knows what next season will bring for the Owls as their shocking start to this season ruined any hopes of a top half finish. In Gray they have a man that knows the division well and some smart summer additions could see them build next term. Striker Adthe Nuhiu has been right in form recently smashing the goals in for the Owls. He is this game’s key man.

Bolton come into this game into a similar situation to Bolton with a mid-table finish already secured and thoughts already switching to next season. The announcement this week that the Reebok will become the Macron stadium has been the talking point among fans this week as it seems the modern day commercialisation of football sweeps the nation. Back to matters on the pitch, Bolton have been superb on the road over the last couple of months has seen what looked to be a nail bighting end of the seen tapered to a much more comfortable conclusion.

Score prediction: 3-1 Wednesday win
