Bristol City host Sheffield Wednesday this Saturday looking for their first win in five matches.

Lee Johnson’s men have not won since the middle of September when they saw off the Owls’ rivals Sheffield United 1-0.

Two defeats followed before two successive draws have seen Lee Johnson’s men slide down the table into 10th position.

Jos Luhukay’s side, meanwhile, sit two places further back in 12th looking to make it four matches unbeaten.

Sheffield Wednesday have recorded two successive home draws after being in winning positions.

Ahead of the meeting between the two sides, Sky Sports enlisted the help of David Prutton to predict the outcome of the fixture.

The pundit is hedging his bets and has gone for a 2-2 draw between the two mid-table teams.

It will no doubt be a competitive match, as are most in the second-tier.

And with that said, here are two reasons why Prutton’s Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday prediction is fairly accurate.

Both sides sit in the middle of the pack heading into match-day 12 of the Championship campaign.

Bristol City have one win in five matches and have not won in four, while Sheffield Wednesday have also managed just one win in five, too.

Their last win was more recent, but on current form, both sides are evenly matched, with both teams drawing their last two fixtures.

On that evidence, a draw is the likeliest of results once more.

Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday’s current form is fairly similar with both sides separated by two places and three goals in the table, both on 16 points.

Regarding results, Lee Johnson’s men have only won twice at home this season.

Conversely, Jos Luhukay’s team have won twice in the road this campaign.

The correlation in their current form and run of results both home and away results point to one overriding outcome and one that David Prutton is right in suggesting: a draw.
