Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Owls have demonstrated resilience in defence, keeping two clean sheets in their last four league matches, including impressive victories against Hull City and Norwich.

Despite this setback, Wednesday have managed to climb to 13th in the Championship table, suggesting an overall improvement in their performances. The team's ability to score consistently, averaging 1.33 goals per game, coupled with their tendency to keep matches tight (83% of their recent games saw under 2.5 goals), indicates a cautious yet potentially effective approach as they look to solidify their mid-table position.
