Sheffield Wednesday take on the visitors Plymouth Argyle in the round 1 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Sunday, August 11th at Hillsborough (Sheffield).
Sheffield Wednesday are four-time national champions and have won several cups. However, these achievements are becoming increasingly distant memories. The reality is that a year ago, they at least managed to climb out of League 1, the third tier of English football. Initially, it seemed they were headed straight back down. However, the fans rallied, even chipping in financially to "keep the club afloat." They also made the right choice with the manager, bringing in Daniel Röhl, a 35-year-old German with little coaching experience. Despite this, he managed to guide his team to 20th place, finishing three points ahead of the relegated Birmingham City.

Plymouth Argyle managed to stay at this level. The "Pilgrims" have never played in the Premier League or its predecessors, meaning they've never reached the top tier of English football. Just a few years ago, they were lingering in League 2, but then they managed a remarkable rise. When a team like this appears in the Championship, the main goal is simply to stay up. They achieved this, although they finished just one point ahead of Birmingham City... After that, the "Greens" decided to bring in a new manager—Wayne Rooney, whose disastrous 2023/2024 stint was partly responsible for derailing Birmingham’s strong start. However, at his new club, he managed a decent start, albeit in friendly matches.
In the last six head-to-head matches, the home team has always won. We don't expect any significant changes to this trend. We recommend betting on the "Owls" to win this time at their home ground.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield to win.
