Where Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster Rovers are tipped to finish in 21/22 League One table compared to Sunderland, Portsmouth and Wigan Athletic

With the League One season past the halfway point, the promotion and relegation picture is becoming clearer by the week.

The Owls picked up a much-needed win against Plymouth Argyle and are approximately 5/1 to secure an immediate return to the second tier.
