Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Sheffield Wednesday have to build on here at Hillsborough Stadium in the League One.

Sheffield Wednesday are returning here after visiting Mansfield Town in a EFL Trophy game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. L. Wing and F. Kamberi scored the goal(s). Some amazing scenes last match, when F. Kamberi scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.

Preceding that match was the home League One game against Oxford United that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sheffield perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sheffield Wednesday as a small favourite), we find ten games. Sheffield Wednesday has won two of these, drawn five and lost three.

Sheffield Wednesday has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. From these home matches, Sheffield Wednesday have conceded only 3 goals.

N. Delfouneso and A. Bakayoko (2) scored in Bolton Wanderers's previous match, the home game against Liverpool U21 that ended 4-1.

Before that, Wanderers secured a home win against Shrewsbury Town with the score 2-1.

Bolton Wanderers have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 13 goals from 6 away matches. Wanderers have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
