Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

7 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats. That’s what Sheffield Wednesday have to build on here at Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship. The Sheffield manager G. Monk might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

It's back home for Sheffield, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Queens Park Rangers away with the result 3-0. Dominic Iorfa, Josh Windass and Jacob Murphy found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against Preston North End with the scoreline 1-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sheffield perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sheffield Wednesday as a small favourite), we find eight games. Sheffield Wednesday has won four of these, drawn three and lost one.

Sheffield are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Fulham awaits in four days.

Sheffield aren't scoring a lot here at Hillsborough Stadium in the league, with only 18 goals from 21 games. 28 goals have been conceded.

Huddersfield aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 288 league minutes without a goal. E. Kachunga was the last player to find the net.

Huddersfield might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Luton Town proved too strong as Huddersfield Town slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The John Smith's Stadium. A 0-0 draw at Reading's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huddersfield Town playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Huddersfield Town wins, three draws and three defeats.
