Recent form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form presents a mixed picture with notable highs and lows. The team has shown impressive offensive capabilities, scoring 4 goals in their win against Plymouth Argyle, but also suffered heavy defeats, conceding 4 goals each in losses to Sunderland and Red Bull Salzburg.
