After fears of a postponement following a coronavirus worry, the match between fifteenth-placed Sheffield Wednesday and fifth side Nottingham Forest goes on as planned. Sheffield have nine points separating them from the relegation zone, and they are relatively safe as just nine games remain to the end of the season. However, the team will still be reeling from the shock of a 5-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of Brenford in their most recent game. This was the second consecutive loss for Sheffield after they fell 3-1 at home to Derby County, where Windass' goal was insufficient to tame attacks by Knight and Lawrence, the latter scoring a brace. At home, Sheffield have won once and lost four times in six matches across all competitions. Visitors Nottingham fell to a surprising 3-0 defeat by Millwall FC which ended their four match unbeaten run. On the road, Nottingham have won twice and drew three times in six games across all competitions. Defensively, the two teams are struggling with Sheffield conceding nine goals in three matches as Nottingham gave away five in two games. This indicates that the two teams will possibly score in the match and also gives a possible direction of the possible total goal tally.
