There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
Sheffield Wednesday have collected 19 points from their League One home games so far after 5-4-1. Sheffield Wednesday has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Oxford United defeat 85 days ago.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell not having conceded a league goal in 205 minutes.
A strong away win for Sheffield against Crewe Alexandra the last match, as Gregory and Bannan were on target. The goalie Peacock-Farrell was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.95 out of ten. Peacock-Farrell saved a penalty, stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Portsmouth that finished 0-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sheffield Wednesday's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.
The manager Moore will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sunderland in only four days.
The Sheffield fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. From these home matches, Sheffield Wednesday have conceded only 8 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton Albion have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-2-7 (11 played). Bitter travels for Burton as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Fleetwood Town match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Burton Albion, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Rotherham United (placed 1st). Borthwick-Jackson was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.31. The defender Borthwick-Jackson won 5 of 6 duels.
A 1-2 defeat away at Wycombe Wanderers before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Burton playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and two home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Burton are hosting Bolton Wanderers in the League One only three days away.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Burton have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Sheffield Wednesday zero wins, two draws and Burton Albion two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
