Check out how to watch Sheffield Wednesday v Sunderland in the League One play-off semi-finals this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
It's advantage Sunderland ahead of their League One play-off semi-final second leg showdown with Sheffield Wednesday at a packed-out Hillsborough.
Almost 45,000 fans poured into the Stadium of Light on Friday to watch Ross Stewart seize on a Sam Hutchinson mistake to nudge the hosts into a first-leg lead.
A capacity crowd close to 35,000 is expected to descend on the home of the Owls tonight and they will be willing their men to overturn the narrow deficit and make their home advantage count.
Sheffield Wednesday were the only team with a better League One home record than Sunderland in 2021/22. Darren Moore's side only lost two league games at Hillsborough all season.
The terms 'well poised' and 'finely balanced' will be thrown around liberally in the build-up to the huge encounter this evening and it's hard to see a firm favourite. Expect a cracking evening of football with the winner to book their place against Wycombe in the final at Wembley.

Our prediction: Sheffield Wednesday v Sunderland
Sunderland will be far happier with their performance than Wednesday, but the visitors may – ironically – be more pleased with the result given the display.
The Black Cats dominated for 70 minutes before a late flurry from the visitors, meaning there's a general feeling that Sunderland somewhat let them off the hook. They should be heading into this one with a greater lead.
Expect a much-improved Sheffield Wednesday on Monday night, but don't underestimate Sunderland who, under Alex Neil, are undefeated in 14 games and have only conceded two goals in a game once during that streak.
Our prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Sunderland (11/2 at bet365).
