Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday

Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six games. The Foxes have demonstrated defensive strength, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 1.17 goals per game on average. Their attacking output has been moderate, scoring 1.33 goals per game, with a notable tendency for low-scoring encounters as 67% of their matches have seen under 2.5 goals. Leicester's most recent outing, a 2-0 friendly victory against Fiorentina, suggests a positive trend, although their last Premier League match resulted in a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Interestingly, Leicester have alternated between wins and non-wins in their last five matches, indicating inconsistent form as they approach the new season from their 9th place finish in the previous campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have been struggling for form recently, with just one win in their last six matches. The Owls have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games, which is a concerning defensive trend. Their recent results show a pattern of inconsistency, with alternating losses and draws in their last four Championship fixtures before a defeat in a friendly match against Lincoln United. Despite the lack of wins, Sheffield Wednesday have managed to score in five of their last six games, albeit at a low rate of 0.83 goals per match. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game over this period. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that while they are finding the net, they are also vulnerable at the back.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City have displayed a rather inconsistent form at home recently, with a notable turnaround in their fortunes. The Foxes endured a challenging spell, suffering three consecutive home defeats in the Premier League, conceding seven goals without reply against Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Liverpool. However, they have since bounced back impressively, securing three straight victories on home soil, including two Premier League wins and a friendly match. Remarkably, Leicester have kept clean sheets in all of their recent wins, suggesting a significant improvement in their defensive performances. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, the contrast between their goal-scoring and goal-conceding records during winning and losing streaks is stark, highlighting the team's ability to respond positively to setbacks.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Owls struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, they have managed just one victory, coupled with three draws and two losses. Notably, their defence has been leaky, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. The team's attacking output has been somewhat better, scoring 1.33 goals per game on average. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting that Sheffield Wednesday's away games tend to be entertaining affairs. The total goals average of 3.17 per game further supports this notion, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals. While there are no significant winning or losing streaks to report, the Owls' recent 3-2 victory against Norwich stands out as a high-scoring encounter.
