Another match this midweek that could impact the Championship sack race betting odds is Tuesday Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham clash at Hillsborough.
With Blues boss Chris Davies under the cosh at present with the Midlands side only 14th in the table on 35 points.

In the last week, there have also been rumours Birmingham will sign August Priske – one of the most in-demand strikers playing in Sweden, in a bid to bolster their squad.
But, on a plus, the Blues are heading to fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday – who have, of course, had 18 points deducted from them this season and will be heading into League One next season.
Wednesday come into this game still on minus points (-7) and are yet to win a league match at Hillsborough this season.
Therefore, if the Blues were to lose to lowly Wednesday, this would pile more pressure on Davies and see the next Birmingham manager betting odds market hot-up again.
The betting for the 7:45pm game sees Birmingham as the hot favourites at 4/7 with the draw 3/1 and Sheffield Wednesday 5/1.
Back at the end of September, the sides met at the St Andrew’s Stadium and played out a 2-2 draw.
But Wednesday might gain some hope from remembering they won this repeat fixture last season 2-0.
