Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormWith Ipswich Town sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Sheffield Wednesday won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Ipswich Town who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in their last 2 home games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
A recent poor run of home form for The Owls in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at Hillsborough Stadium.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Blackburn Rovers, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
With 4 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 16 most recent trips.
Middlesbrough will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Matt Crooks will be looking to cause Sheffield Wednesday some problems having scored 2 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 away games in the league.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Middlesbrough produced a comfortable 3-1 victory.
The Boro defence has struggled at Hillsborough Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 12 visits.
Wednesday manager Xisco Muñoz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mohamed Diaby (Leg), Mallik Wilks (Muscle) and Josh Windass (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Anfernee Dijksteel (Unknown) and Darragh Lenihan (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
