Stoke City, Recent FormThe Stoke City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Plymouth Argyle recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Plymouth Argyle who had 16 attempts and 8 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Alex Neil will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormSheffield Wednesday will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 3-1 home win against Blackburn Rovers in their last league encounter. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 18 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Danny Röhl will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 16 of their 19 games overall.
Sheffield Wednesday will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 9 games.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-0 win for Stoke City.
In their last 2 league meetings with Stoke, The Owls have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
In the league, Stoke has a good track record when they host Wednesday, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Stoke manager Alex Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sead Hakšabanović (Groin), Emre Tezgel (Unknown) and Ben Wilmot (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mohamed Diaby (Leg) and Josh Windass (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Danny Röhl will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
