Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu believes Town are “probably one of the ugliest teams to play against” in the Championship. The Blues visit Hillsborough tomorrow knowing only a win will be good enough to maintain their faint hopes of reaching the play-offs.
The 26-year-old Austrian says he’s anticipating a demanding afternoon against the Blues.
"I have played Ipswich a few times in the last three years. They are one of the most direct and physical teams in the league," he told the Sheffield Star.
"They are probably one of the ugliest teams to play against. Their style will never change. They have their one way to play.
"Everybody knows Ipswich are a tough team to beat and are always 100 per cent in challenges. They work hard and have earned the respect from other teams.”
The former Rapid Vienna frontman believes his side, who are currently sixth, eight points plus goal difference ahead of the eighth-placed Blues, should be strong enough to get back to winning ways after last week’s surprise 4-1 thrashing at Bristol City.
"You have to battle against them, but I think we have got the players to get stuck in,” he added. "If we win our challenges, I think football-wise we can damage them. That’s what we have done all season.
"If we win our battles, everybody knows we have a lot of quality in the final third which can make a difference.”
