Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormWith Coventry City sitting a clear 17 places above them in the table, Sheffield Wednesday won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 home defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Coventry City managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Manager Danny Röhl will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 14 home games this season.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Wednesday camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Josh Windass will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sheffield Wednesday.
Watford, Recent FormWatford had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Bristol City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Bristol City had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Valérien Ismaël will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 6 games in a row.
Edo Kayembe is the man of the moment at Watford right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The 1-0 victory which Watford recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Watford defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Owls in the league, with Watford conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Watford have managed to keep a clean sheet against Wednesday in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Playing at home, Wednesday have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Watford. When Watford are away to The Owls in the league, they know how to find the net, with 7 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.33 per game.
Watford has won the last 2 games they've played against Wednesday in the league.
Wednesday manager Danny Röhl has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dominic Iorfa (Leg), Callum Paterson (Concussion) and Josh Windass (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
