Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

A Championship draw at home so far for Sheffield Wednesday. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 7 draws and 9 defeats from 23 matches.

Sheffield Wednesday are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

In their previous game, the manager G. Monk led his Sheffield Wednesday to a defeat in the Carabao Cup match away at Fulham. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Hillsborough Stadium. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Watford that ended 0-0.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won one time, drawn three and lost six.

At Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield Wednesday has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
