There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Championship table so far. Here's the Sheffield Wednesday - Birmingham City latest:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City.
Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 8 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday lost their last game at West Bromwich Albion (placed 1st) after a 1-2 scoreline. In the match before that, Sheffield Wednesday hosted Swansea City and drew the game 2-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sheffield Wednesday have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 1 time, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The manager G. Monk will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Charlton Athletic in only three days.
