Struggling Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Stoke City in the upcoming league round. It’s 23rd vs 8th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Sheffield Wednesday have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Stoke City have scored more than double the goals of Sheffield Wednesday.
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 and Stoke City.
Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
With 1 Championship win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Sheffield Wednesday are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Sheffield manager G. Monk and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Swansea City (placed 4th) in the Championship. Heartbreak before that as Sheffield lost 0-1 at Preston North End's place.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Reading are coming to town in four days.
Sheffield have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. Sheffield have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Stoke City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
The manager M. O'Neill was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Bet365 Stadium. Stoke suffered a 2-3 loss to Norwich City (placed 1st). Before that, Stoke secured a home win against Huddersfield Town with the score 4-3.
The schedule is very tough for Stoke now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Wycombe Wanderers is waiting in only four days.
Stoke have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
