Sheffield Wednesday vs Accrington Stanley prediction, preview, team news and more | League One 2021-22

Sheffield Wednesday will welcome Accrington Stanley to the Hillsborough Stadium for a rescheduled matchday 23 fixture in League One on Tuesday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 6-0 thrashing of Cambridge United at the same ground last Saturday. Saido Berahino starred with a brace in the rout.

Accrington Stanley also secured maximum points on home turf, albeit in a much-tighter 2-1 comeback victory over Charlton Athletic. Rosaire Longelo-Mbule and Tommy Leigh scored first-half goals to cancel out Jayden Stockley's opener for the visitors.

The win means they remain in 12th spot, having garnered 49 points from 36 matches. Sheffield Wednesday sit in seventh position with 64 points to show for their efforts in 36 matches.
