Middlesbrough have fallen to fifth in the Championship table
Sheffield Wednesday have still won only one game this season in the Championship
Recommended bet: Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score
Middlesbrough will aim to get their promotion bid back on track on Wednesday when they welcome Sheffield Wednesday to the Riverside Stadium.
Kim Hellberg's team have lost their way in recent weeks and are now in a fight to hold onto their top-six spot.
Boro previously looked to be competing for an automatic promotion place, but they now need to win their final three games and hope their rivals slip up.
Sheffield Wednesday have been planning for life in League One for the majority of the campaign and they will be looking to play the role of partypoopers this week.

Prediction
Middlesbrough are desperate for three points to steady the ship and get their promotion bid back on track.
Thankfully for Boro, they are about to face the worst team in the Championship.
Boro's 2-2 draw with promotion rivals Ipswich on Sunday proves they are still fighting and competitive, and they should be able to outclass the Owls at home and get a much-needed win under their belt.
Their recent form suggests they should struggle to keep a clean sheet, though, with Boro without a clean sheet in five games at home, while the Owls have scored in three of their last five.
Back Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score at 31/20
