Sheffield Wednesday hosts Wycombe in round 25 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 9th at Hillsborough (Sheffield)
If not for the penalty in the form of -6 points, Sheffield Wednesday probably would not have fought for survival. Thompson's squad gained four confident victories at home, but everything is bad on the road. The team's main problem is not how the players interact on the pitch, it's the leadership. But after the departure of Pielis, Sheffield at least began to regularly gain points and lost in only two rounds. And they were played away. There are good chances to rise a little higher in the standings, and the gap to the saving place is not at all critical. In the last three matches, the Owls did not leave the field without a goal scored.

It is difficult for a debutant of the Championship to fight on equal terms at a distance. Wycombe does not have a high-quality lineup, and the team gained only a couple of victories at the end of autumn. The team is not a hopeless outsider, but it is too weak in defense. The last rounds partly show that the Blues are not able to play on equal terms even with their neighbors in the standings. They have kept only one clean sheet since November. In recent matches, Wycombe conceded seven goals from Brentford and three from Nottingham Forest. It seems that the Blues are trying to impose struggle, but the rivals convert their attempts more often.
Wycombe finds it difficult to earn points on the road. The team conceded an average of 2.5 goals per away match. The management declares a wonderful transfer winter… during which they managed to keep some players and renew their contracts. But there were no purchases. Despite some problems with the lineup, the Owls should have no problem with upsetting the opponents’ goalkeeper at least once.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield Wednesday to score over 1.0 goal
