Sheffield Wednesday have taken just two points from eight Championship games this season.
Sunderland have won their last two away games by a 3-1 scoreline.
Jack Clarke has scored four goals in his last four appearances.
Black Cats set to bounce back

Sunderland’s five-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end at home to Cardiff last weekend but the Black Cats will be confident of a return to winning ways against rock-bottom strugglers Sheffield Wednesday.

The visitors, who sit fifth in the Championship table, were disappointing last time out but had won their previous three games in style, scoring 11 goals and conceding just twice against Southampton, QPR and Blackburn. They have won their last two away games by 3-1 scorelines and I expect something similar at Hillsborough on Friday.

Clarke to pile misery on winless Wednesday

The Owls have endured a difficult start to life back in the second tier and head into gameweek nine bottom of the table and already four points adrift of safety. They have picked up just two points from eight games and are yet to win a competitive game in regulation time.

Xisco Munoz’s job already hangs in the balance and, after shipping three at Swansea last weekend, another defeat and a third-successive 3-1 away win for Sunderland looks good value for money.

Jack Clarke represents solid value in the anytime goalscorer market, too. The 22-year-old is Sunderland’s top scorer this season with five goals from the left, four of which have come in his last four appearances.

谢菲尔德星期三在本赛季的8场英冠比赛中只拿到2分。
桑德兰最近两场客场比赛都以3:1的比分获胜。
杰克·克拉克在最近的4次出场中打入4球。
黑猫队准备反弹

桑德兰的五场不败在上周末主场对卡迪夫的比赛中戛然而止，但是黑猫队有信心在对阵排名垫底的谢菲尔德星期三的比赛中重返胜利之路。

客队目前在英冠积分榜上排名第五，上一场比赛表现令人失望，但他们在前三场比赛中取得了胜利，在对阵南安普顿、QPR和布莱克本的比赛中打进11球，只丢了2球。他们在过去的两场客场比赛中都以3-1的比分获胜，我预计周五在希尔斯堡的比赛也会有类似的结果。

克拉克在周三的比赛中失利

猫头鹰队经历了一个艰难的开始，回到了第二梯队，进入第9个比赛周，排名垫底，距离安全已经有4分的差距。他们在8场比赛中只拿到了2分，而且还没有在常规时间内赢得一场正式比赛。

穆尼奥斯的工作已经岌岌可危，在上周末对斯旺西的三场比赛后，桑德兰又输了一场，客场3-1连胜，看起来物有所值。

杰克-克拉克在射手市场上也有稳定的价值。这位22岁的球员是桑德兰本赛季的最佳射手，他在左路攻入5球，其中4球是在他最近的4次出场中打进的。

要给乔什·温德斯发张牌

给小费的理由
温德斯本赛季为谢菲尔德星期三首发7次，领到4张黄牌，上一场主场对米德尔斯堡的比赛也吃到了黄牌。本赛季他一共犯规10次，平均每121分钟吃一张牌。
丹尼尔-巴拉德犯规1次以上

给小费的理由
丹尼尔·巴拉德本赛季在8场冠军赛中犯规11次，最近5次代表俱乐部和国家队出场中有4次至少犯规1次
