Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sheffield Wednesday performed last season in the League One: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 24 victories, 13 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 78 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 8 and lost 7 with 30/32 goals scored/conceded.

Sheffield Wednesday's last game was the home draw against Portsmouth (3-3). A loony fixture with lots of goals last time out for Sheffield, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that game, will this game be as refreshing? Dele-Bashiru got a match rating of 8.13 in that game, top player of the team. Dele-Bashiru scored two goals, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 24 successful passes (of 27 total).

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Sunderland.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sheffield Wednesday playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 3 Sheffield Wednesday wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Sheffield, the Carabao Cup home match versus Sunderland. Busy days.
