Sunderland, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Watford will have left the Sunderland squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Watford managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded a goal in 16 of their 22 games at home this season.
A home win for Sunderland is just a distant memory, having not won at Stadium of Light in 6 games.
Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormAfter an eye catching 3-0 home win in their last match against West Bromwich Albion, the Sheffield Wednesday players will be in buoyant mood ahead of this fixture. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. West Bromwich Albion had 22 shots on goal with 8 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 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 5 games.
Ike Ugbo will be hoping to create problems for Sunderland in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sunderland, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
Sunderland have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Owls in each of their previous 2 meetings. The Owls have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Sunderland; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 5 games away to them.
Sunderland has won the last 2 games they've played against Wednesday in the league.
Sunderland manager Mike Dodds has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Niall Huggins (Knee surgery), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament), Nazariy Rusyn (Calf) and Jenson Seelt (Knee surgery) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Danny Röhl has a number of injury concerns in his Wednesday squad to contend with: Juan Delgado (Hip), Mohamed Diaby (Leg), Ian Poveda (Hamstring) and Josh Windass (Muscle)
