On Saturday afternoon, Sheffield Wednesday host Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough, in what is a massive game for the Owls in the fight for Championship survival.
The home team are in 23rd place in the Championship table, four points adrift of the safety of 21st place Derby.
This game is quite simply a must-win game for the team from Yorkshire, as if they draw and the Rams picked up anything from their game at Swansea, then they will be consigned to life in League One next season.
Even before gameweek 45 things look bleak for Darren Moore’s team, who ironically face Derby on the last day of the season. Results have to go their way this weekend for the final game fixture to mean anything, though.
A 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough last time out means that Sheffield Wednesday have won just one of their last five league games while suffering three defeats in the process.
The fact that the Yorkshire outfit has won just two of their last eight league matches has also hindered their chances of mounting a bid for survival.
Nottingham Forest have endured another mediocre Championship campaign. The Tricky Trees are 17th place in the table, but they are 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
Chris Hughton’s team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in the Championship, although three of those matches have finished all-square.
Forest have a mixed recent away record in the Championship, as although they have won just one of their last six league matches on their travels, they are also unbeaten in their last four away matches in the second tier.
Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a low-scoring draw, which may be enough for Sheffield Wednesday to save themselves on the last day if Derby fails to pick up anything from their trip to Swansea.
