The match finished 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday won the match 2-1.
The match took place on Saturday, 2 May 2026.
Sheffield Wednesday beat West Brom 2-1 at Hillsborough in a Championship match that went against our model's call. Our AI engine favored West Brom at 57% probability, but the hosts delivered the upset instead. Wednesday's recent form had been mixed, with just one draw in their last five outings, yet they found the attacking thrust needed to overcome a West Brom side that had won once in five games. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Sheffield Wednesday's 24th-place finish reflects a season of collapse; they trail 21st-placed West Brom by 3 points with 1 match remaining. West Brom have stabilised defensively, keeping clean sheets in their last 4 games. Wednesday's xG differential is poor; our model rates their survival prospects as minimal. This final-day encounter carries little bearing on league outcomes for either side.
