BREARKING: Sheffield Wednesday handed survival boost after relegation rival’s home blow

All of Sheffield Wednesday’s competitors in the relegation battle are now level in terms of games played, following Birmingham City’s completion of their 37th match on Tuesday night.

With nine matches remaining, numerous clubs are nervously eyeing the fiercely contested relegation battle. Rotherham United appears the most likely candidate for relegation at present.

Sheffield Wednesday currently sits above them with 38 points, while Huddersfield Town occupies the third-bottom spot based on goal difference. A win for the Owls against Ipswich Town on Saturday could potentially lift them to 20th position, provided other results align favorably.

Birmingham aimed to leverage their home advantage in their midweek clash against Middlesbrough. However, an early goal from Riley McGree dashed their hopes, keeping Boro’s playoff aspirations alive as they closed the gap to within five points of sixth place in the Championship.

Danny Röhl’s team is aware of the challenge awaiting them as they journey to Portman Road to take on the Tractor Boys on Saturday. Even securing a single point in the match could propel them up to 22nd place in the standings. However, this outcome would hinge on Rotherham securing a victory over the Terriers simultaneously.
