After the first set of fixtures it's Sheffield Wednesday - Doncaster Rovers 1-0 in points. Who will prevail in this second League One match of the season?

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Carabao Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Walsall. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

Last season, Sheffield Wednesday's league statistics were 12 wins, 11 draws and 23 losses, resulting in a 24th position in the Championship. Over these 46 matches they scored 40 goals and conceded 61. Playing at home last season Sheffield Wednesday managed 8-8-7 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 17 conceded. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Sheffield.

Sheffield shared the glory with Charlton Athletic in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Sam Hutchinson was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.81 out of 10. The defender Hutchinson won 6 of 8 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Huddersfield Town (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) that ended 0-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sheffield Wednesday matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from three games).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Fleetwood Town in only three days. This game is also played here at Hillsborough Stadium.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Let's have a look at how Doncaster Rovers performed last season in the League One: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 7 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 63 and conceded 67 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 3 and lost 12 with 29/35 goals scored/conceded.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Walsall (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup match ended in a draw 0-0. Pontus Dahlberg (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.82. Dahlberg stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

The game before that, in the League One, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against AFC Wimbledon.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Doncaster when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Doncaster Rovers manager R. Wellens as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Accrington Stanley.

Head 2 Head

Last seven meetings between these participants: Sheffield won two, Doncaster Rovers triumphed in five and we saw zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.
