Sheffield Wednesday are set to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers, Huddersfield Town, Brighton, Brentford and Bristol City.

We attempt to predict the results of Sheffield Wednesday’s next five Championship matches.

Wolverhampton Wanderers (home) – 3-1 win

Wolves have been a difficult team to predict this season, but do have vulnerabilities at the back.

If Wednesday can play to the top of their game here, they seem likely to pick up the three points.

Huddersfield Town (home) – 2-0 win

Huddersfield have surprised many with how well they have started, and they should challenge Wednesday at Hillsborough.

However, Carlos Carvalhal’s squad has more depth to it than Huddersfield’s, and that could prove crucial over a busy festive period.

Brighton & Hove Albion (away) – 1-0 loss

Brighton have been one of the standout teams in the Championship so far. It would be a surprise if Chris Hughton’s men didn’t pick up the victory.

Brentford (home) – 2-0 win

Brentford manager Dean Smith

Brentford do have the capabilities to trouble teams at Championship level, but Wednesday should have enough quality in their team to get past the Bees in this match.

Bristol City (away) 1-1 draw

Bristol City are an exciting attacking team, and if Wednesday can avoid defeat at Ashton Gate it should be reflected on as a positive result.
