Sheffield Wednesday’s troubles have overshadowed their Championship campaign, and whilst their administration now surely confirms that they will not be in the second tier next season, there is also the realistic chance that it galvanises the team and the fans. However, West Brom will still fancy their chances of being the fifth Championship team in a row to defeat Wednesday.

📈 West Brom v Sheffield Wednesday Form & Stats

West Brom are having a very up-and-down season. They have won five and lost five, but they come into this match having lost three of their last four, and two in a row. Those last two defeats have come away from home, and although there was only one goal in each defeat, they were deserved defeats on the balance of play. This suggests that Baggies aren’t quite at the level that they want to be at this stage.

Baggies sit 22nd in the league for expected goals for; this is the real issue under Ryan Mason. Their considered approach to possession, the highest number of accurate passes in the league, doesn’t seem to be generating enough attacking drive to take the initiative in matches. They are 9th for xG conceded, which isn’t bad, but it isn’t enough to compensate for their lack of attacking threat.

We know that Wednesday have mitigating circumstances for their lack of results. They are now on -6 points as a result of administration, but they would be bottom of the table based on results alone as well. They have one win and two draws from their 12 matches so far, and four consecutive defeats, scoring twice and conceding 10 in that run.

It is a bit of a quirk that Wednesday have the 12th-best numbers for shots on target whilst actually only creating the 23rd-best numbers for big chances created. Another interesting stat is that Wednesday have managed the 4th highest number of corners in the competition so far. They have conceded 23 xG of chances so far, just short of 2 xG per match, the 2nd-worst record in the league.
