A demanding season for Swansea City so far, and the same description fits Sheffield Wednesday. These struggling sides hope for some important points here.
- Swansea City have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Championship
- Sheffield Wednesday have yet to win a game.
It's no vacation for neither Swansea City nor Sheffield Wednesday as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Swansea City form and stats
Swansea City have played three Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Swansea City shared the glory with Queens Park Rangers in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Grimes (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.85/10. Grimes dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 85 successful passes (of 98 total).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cardiff City (0-2).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 Swansea have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 4 and lost 5.
On the other hand, Swansea City have conceded 4 goals.
Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
The Championship season is young and Sheffield Wednesday have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Sheffield Wednesday's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Middlesbrough that finished 1-1. As mentioned above, Sheffield Wednesday drew the match against Middlesbrough. Manager Llompart brought on Musaba to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Attacker Musaba got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Musaba scored one goal.
A 0-1 loss hosting Ipswich Town before that.Sheffield Wednesday have the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 3 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
