Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

Sheffield Wednesday have performed here at Hillsborough Stadium this season with 5 wins from 9 League One matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.

A nice win for Sheffield Wednesday last time playing, versus Milton Keynes Dons. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Lee Gregory and Josh Windass scoring for the victors. Manager D. Moore felt very clever after Josh Windass scored the winning goal against Milton Keynes Dons, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 54th minute. A late climax in the match against Milton Keynes Dons as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Josh Windass. Theo Corbeanu (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.81/10. Corbeanu served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 8 times and had 26 successful passes (of 27 total).

In the game before, an away victory match versus Accrington Stanley with a 3-2 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sheffield Wednesday 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 eleven games. Sheffield Wednesday has won four of these, drawn four and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Sheffield as they have a new game in only four days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Hartlepool United are visiting.
