We said: Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Rochdale

 Rochdale have endured a horrid start to the new season and are yet to pick up any points from their opening five league games. In stark contrast, Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in five of their six games this season, picking up four wins in that time. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, and their contrasting form, we are backing the Owls to come away with a comfortable victory on Monday. Read more.
