Both Teams to Score

The discourse over Sheffield Wednesday, though some might say that most mainstream media have ignored their plight, has led to a general underestimation of their chances in their matches so far.

The Owls bloodied the noses of Leicester, and then they progressed in the EFL Cup against a good Bolton team. The price isn't quite there to back them to win here; they have suffered a lot in the second halves of matches, but they certainly have the spirit and the ability to notch here.

Stoke are actually looking quite fun, good, and dangerous in these early days of the season. We know that Mark Robins can coach a good attacking Championship team, and he seems to have been granted the tools to do it again here. Late goals against Derby suggest that they can capitalise on Wednesday's fatigue.

Over Stoke 4.5 Corners

I am expecting a match in which Sheffield Wednesday will have their moments, but Stoke will dominate the chances and the shots, especially as the game progresses into the second half.

Leicester had 27 shots and 13 corners against Wednesday on opening day, Bolton had more shots (9-8) and more corners (4-0) in midweek as well.

Stoke managed seven corners at home to Derby; the price for five or more looks attainable to me.

  • Sheffield Wednesday are now only under a fee restriction, so they are able to recruit players once more, as long as no fee is involved.

  • Stoke won their opening Championship match for the third year in a row, but they lost their next match in 2023 and 2024.

  • Sheffield Wednesday have Barry Bannan back available after his suspension was served in the EFL Cup tie.

The Wednesday rearguard action continues against Stoke at Hillsborough on Saturday. Can the paper-thin squad continue to hold up?

🔵 Can Sheffield Wednesday Squad Continue to Thrive?

There have been murmurs and rumours that investors are circling around Sheffield Wednesday, and it would be a great day for football if the grand old club were saved from the chaos and concern of Dejphon Chansiri.

On the pitch, the squad and Henrik Pedersen are making their fans proud. Still in the EFL Cup and almost getting a result at Leicester. They can't be underestimated here as we have seen in those matches.


🔴 Stoke Bringing Down Their Average Age

Goalscorer from the Derby match, Divin Mubama, spearheads an attack that also contains 23-year-old Million Manhoef, 21-year-old Bae Jun-Ho, and veteran 26-year-old Sorba Thomas. They have just added 22-year-old Lamine Cissé to the group as well, who looks a very talented prospect indeed.

Mark Robins has had great success in the league with a forward line similar to this one at Coventry. What that team also had though, was experience and solidity in midfield and defence. Ben Pearson and Lewis Baker provide that in midfield, Ben Wilmot and Bosun Lawal probably need to step up a touch, but the signing of Aaron Cresswell is probably smart for this balance as well.


📊 Sheffield Wednesday v Stoke H2H

The recent head-to-head between these two is relatively even. From their last 12 meetings, Wednesday have won three, Stoke four, and there have been five draws.

Last year, the home team won each meeting 2-0, so it will be interesting to see if home advantage wins out again.
