Sheffield Wednesday face West Bromwich Albion in the Championship at Hillsborough on Saturday, 2 May 2026, with the hosts bottom after 45 games and the visitors aiming to finish a solid unbeaten run.

The Owls have drawn three of their last five and lost the other two. West Bromwich Albion are unbeaten in five, with five successive clean sheets including wins over Preston North End and Watford.

West Bromwich Albion have kept 14 clean sheets this season, average 51% possession and complete 80.99% of passes. Their 19.05% crossing accuracy and 12 headed goals could test a defence that has conceded 88, with the Owls scoring only 27 in 45 matches.

West Bromwich Albion, 21st on 51 points, could climb with a win and add distance to the bottom end. The Owls, 24th on minus three, are in the relegation places, but a positive result would offer a late uplift.
