Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to continue their recent form and revive their promotion hopes, while Exeter City will be looking to end their poor run of form. Sheffield Wednesday head into the fixture with a home advantage and a recent 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers, which has helped them revive their promotion hopes. They are currently in 3rd place in the table, 1 point behind Ipswich and 2 points behind Plymouth. It is important to note that they have a game less than their rivals, so failure is not an option. With only 3 games left until the end of the season, Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to secure a win in this fixture and hope for a setback for their rivals. Exeter on the other hand, are going through a poor run of form, having lost their last 4 matches in a row. They are currently in mid-table with no chance of promotion or relegation. This lack of motivation can be seen from their recent performances, and it is unlikely that they will be able to pose a serious threat to Sheffield Wednesday. In terms of team strength, Sheffield Wednesday has the edge, with a much better team overall. They have scored 75 goals this season, which is the second-highest in the league, while Exeter has managed to score 60. Sheffield Wednesday also has a better defensive record, conceding only 36 goals compared to Exeter City's 58. The recent form of Michael Smith, who has picked up two goals in his last three matches, also suggests that Sheffield Wednesday will be able to score goals in this fixture. Exeter defense has been porous in recent matches, conceding 9 goals in their last 5 matches. All indications suggest that Sheffield Wednesday will emerge victorious in this fixture, and with at least a two-goal difference. Their home advantage, recent form, and overall team strength give them the edge over Exeter City. If we add to that the importance that this game has for them, we should expect a maximum offensive from the very beginning of the game.

谢菲尔德星期三将寻求延续他们最近的状态并重振他们晋级的希望，而埃克塞特城将寻求结束他们糟糕的状态。谢菲尔德星期三凭借主场优势和最近 2-1 战胜布里斯托尔流浪者队进入比赛，这帮助他们重燃晋级希望。他们目前在积分榜上排名第3，落后伊普斯维奇1分，落后普利茅斯2分。重要的是要注意他们的比赛比他们的对手少，所以失败不是一种选择。距离赛季结束仅剩 3 场比赛，谢周三希望在这场比赛中取得胜利，并希望他们的对手遭遇挫折。另一方面，埃克塞特队的状态不佳，已经连续输掉了最后 4 场比赛。他们目前处于中游，没有晋级或降级的机会。从他们最近的表现就可以看出这种动力不足，他们不太可能构成严重威胁到谢菲尔德星期三。球队实力方面，谢周三占据优势，整体实力要强很多。他们本赛季打进了75个进球，在联赛中排名第二，而埃克塞特则打进了60个。谢周三的防守记录也更好，只丢了36个球，而埃克塞特城则有58个。迈克尔最近的状态史密斯在过去三场比赛中攻入两球，他也暗示谢周三将能够在这场比赛中进球。埃克塞特的防守在最近的比赛中漏洞百出，最近5场比赛丢了9球。种种迹象表明，谢菲尔德星期三将在这场比赛中取得胜利，而且至少有两球之差。他们的主场优势、近期状态和整体球队实力让他们比埃克塞特城更具优势。如果我们再加上这场比赛对他们的重要性，我们应该期待从比赛一开始就会有强势的进攻。
