Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

Sheffield Wednesday have only played one game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 8 draws and 5 defeats from 23 matches.

The fans are hoping that Sheffield Wednesday will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Championship game against Millwall. Ahead of that match, Sheffield Wednesday won a home game hosting Barnsley (2-0).

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 seven games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Sheffield Wednesday are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Preston North End awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sheffield Wednesday at home. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats were 11 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats from 23 fixtures. Luton Town seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager G. Jones was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Hillsborough Stadium. Luton Town suffered a 1-2 loss to West Bromwich Albion. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Ipswich Town.

We have checked recent matches where Luton Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were W0-D0-L1.

The schedule is very tough for Luton Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Barnsley is waiting in only four days.

1 goal so far away for Luton Town, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Sheffield Wednesday won 1 game, 2 matches ended with a draw and Luton Town has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 2 / 4
