📊 Form Guide

Sheffield Wednesday

LDLDLL ⚠

Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 Championship losing effort in their last game against Stoke City.

In that game, Sheffield Wednesday had 56% possession and 9 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Stoke City had 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Million Manhoef (21') and Ben Wilmot (61') scored for Stoke City.

It has been seldom in recent games that Sheffield Wednesday haven’t conceded. The reality is that Sheffield Wednesday have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals on the way.

Their previous form shows that Sheffield Wednesday:

• have not won against Middlesbrough in their last 4 league games.
• have not won at home in their last 8 league games. They will be so desperate to end this run.

Middlesbrough

DWWLLW

Middlesbrough head into the match following on from a 2-1 Championship win against Plymouth Argyle in their most recent game.

In that match, Middlesbrough had 75% possession and 22 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. For Middlesbrough, goals were scored by Finn Azaz (12') and Tommy Conway (90'). For their opponents, Plymouth Argyle had 18 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Mustapha Bundu (17') scored for Plymouth Argyle.

A run of outstanding displays by the Middlesbrough defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their last 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their forwards have scored 6. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, of course.

Coming into this clash, Middlesbrough have not registered a win against Sheffield Wednesday when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
