Sheffield Wednesday vs Portsmouth

Current streaks

Recent form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have been struggling for form in recent weeks, with their latest victory against Middlesbrough breaking a five-game winless streak. The Owls have managed just one win in their last six matches, drawing twice and losing three times. Their defensive record has been a concern, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game in their previous six outings. Despite this, Wednesday have been involved in relatively low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. The team's attacking output has also been modest, scoring just 0.83 goals per game in their last six fixtures. However, their most recent win could potentially signal a turnaround in fortunes as they look to secure their position in the Championship.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in 16th position in the Championship. The Pompey have shown resilience in their last two matches, securing back-to-back victories, including an impressive 5-3 away win against Norwich which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Despite their mid-table position, Portsmouth have been involved in some entertaining fixtures, with half of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's defensive record has been inconsistent, managing two clean sheets but also conceding eight goals in their last six matches. Portsmouth's ability to score consistently, averaging 1.67 goals per game, has been a positive aspect of their recent performances, although they've struggled to maintain consistency, as evidenced by their two-match losing streak earlier in the run.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent home form has been particularly poor, with the Owls enduring a concerning run of five consecutive defeats at Hillsborough before their most recent victory against Middlesbrough. During this challenging period, they struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score in three of those losses and managing only one goal in each of the other two defeats. Defensively, they've been vulnerable, conceding in all six matches and keeping no clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring woes are evident, with an average of just 0.67 goals per game, while they've been conceding at a rate of 1.33 goals per match. Their latest win against Middlesbrough, however, might provide a glimmer of hope for the struggling side as they look to improve their home record in the Championship.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with a notable run of four consecutive defeats sandwiched between two impressive victories. Their most recent away match against Norwich was a particularly high-scoring affair, ending in a thrilling 5-3 win for Portsmouth. Despite their mid-table position in the Championship, Portsmouth have shown they can be dangerous on the road, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game in their last six away matches. However, their defensive record mirrors this exactly, conceding the same number of goals. The team have managed only one clean sheet in this period, coming in their 2-0 victory over Oxford United. Interestingly, Portsmouth's away games have been evenly split between high-scoring encounters and tighter affairs, with 50% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures.
