The Bluebirds scoring twice in stoppage time will have stunned Kieran McKenna’s team, and it remains to be seen whether they can stay calm and get back on track.With only one point separating them from second-placed Leeds United, they will be motivated to win tomorrow.They face Danny Rohl’s men, who have performed admirably since the former Bayern Munich coach arrived at Hillsborough.Recent results have given them a chance to stay in the Championship, but they are still in the relegation zone and risk dropping down to League One.

Tomorrow afternoon’s game at Portman Road will not be easy for them, and the Owls will need to put on an outstanding display if they are to take three points away from Suffolk.David Prutton predicts: Ipswich Town vs Sheffield Wednesday
On paper, the Tractor Boys appear to be the favourites, but their loss to Cardiff last weekend must be examined.Conceding twice so late would have been a huge morale blow, but they’ve showed great grit before by scoring their own late goals, and Prutton believes the hosts will get three points tomorrow.In a Sky Sports prediction, he speculated on the implications of Cardiff’s late defeat on Ipswich Town. Their winning streak has ended, but they still have a chance to reclaim second place here, if only for 24 hours.
Three Ipswich Town players have been called up to the Wales team ahead of the Euro qualifying play-offs.”They must shake it off soon since there is little margin for error today.”Sheffield Wednesday were beaten by Leeds last time out, ending their own winning streak, but they shouldn’t let that loss against such a strong team derail their momentum too much.”They will still turn up to Portman Road optimistic of getting a result, but I think the Tractor Boys will bounce back here.”Ipswich Town must be mentally prepared for the Sheffield Wednesday encounter.
Ipswich will struggle to recover.They had almost won the three points on Saturday in stoppage time, but they went from three to zero.That was a shattering setback for the Tractor Boys in the promotion chase, emphasising their need to win tomorrow.That will just increase the pressure on McKenna’s side, so it will be interesting to see how they respond.If they win tomorrow, it will be a huge lift for them, as they want to go back into the top two as soon as possible.
