A sequence of resolute showings by the Sheffield Wednesday defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes in total. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 7. Nonetheless, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern will be sustained in this upcoming match or not.
