Sheffield Wednesday predicted XI vs Portsmouth, team news with duo potentially absent and key man back

Sheffield Wednesday will try to win their first game since football resumed this month when they play Portsmouth in the Championship on Friday night.

Although the current state of Sheffield Wednesday is uncertain, the international breaks appear to have a significant impact on the team’s performance this season; the September break halted a bad run of play and began a strong one.

Burnley defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their first game back, a match that few could have reasonably predicted the Owls would win.

Then, Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City drew 0-0 on Tuesday night. At the end of the game, there was some jeering, which Danny Rohl responded to by defending his team, which is now in 18th position in the Championship standings.

After been promoted from League One the previous time, Portsmouth is currently in last place. So far, John Mousinho’s team has only won one league game.

Sheffield Wednesday team and injury news ahead of Portsmouth

The main team announcement before this one is that Anthony Musaba, who missed the Swansea City match due to a minor injury, will play for Sheffield Wednesday again.

Despite Musaba’s one goal and two assists in ten Championship games this season, Sheffield Wednesday supporters have occasionally been dismissive of him.

In the meantime, it appears that Sheffield Wednesday will be without Michael Ihiekwe, who has missed the previous two games due to an Achilles injury, and Nathaniel Chalobah for some time to come.

Sheffield Wednesday predicted XI to face Portsmouth

This season, Rohl has been switching up his offensive three, but none of them have been able to establish themselves.

Ike Ugbo is in terrible form. However, Callum Paterson might make his season debut after making an impact for Sheffield Wednesday against Swansea City in the middle of the week, while Josh Windass might return to the starting lineup.

Anticipate a defence and midfield that remain unaltered. The attacking line appears to be the one where we’ll see adjustments on Friday night, so anticipate Musaba starting on the bench after recently recovering from an injury.

This is our prediction for Sheffield Wednesday’s lineup against Portsmouth on Friday.
