Recent form
Sunderland
Sunderland's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find wins and scoring goals. In their last six matches, they have suffered three defeats, drawn twice, and won only once. The Black Cats have scored just two goals in this period, averaging a mere 0.33 goals per game, while conceding seven at the other end. A particularly concerning result was the 1-5 home defeat against Blackburn, which stands out as a high-scoring game in an otherwise low-scoring run. On a positive note, Sunderland managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six games, suggesting some defensive resilience. However, their overall form and goal-scoring struggles have left them in 15th position in the Championship table.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been impressive, with three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six games. They are currently on a two-game winning streak, having defeated West Brom 3-0 at home and Blackburn 3-1 away. These high-scoring victories demonstrate their ability to find the back of the net consistently. The team has scored 11 goals in their last six games, averaging 1.83 goals per game, while conceding only six goals, resulting in a positive goal difference of five. With two clean sheets in this period, Sheffield Wednesday has shown defensive resilience as well. The total goals average of 2.83 suggests that their games have been entertaining, with 50% of the matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

Recent home/away form
Sunderland
Sunderland's recent home form has been poor, with the team failing to secure a win in their last six games at the Stadium of Light. They have suffered four defeats and managed only two draws during this period. Notably, Sunderland has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals in these six matches, resulting in a meager average of 0.33 goals per game. Their defensive record has also been concerning, conceding nine goals, with an average of 1.5 goals per game. The team's goal difference stands at a disappointing -7. However, there was one particularly high-scoring game during this run, a 1-5 defeat against Blackburn on April 1st, 2024.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday's recent away form has been mixed, with two consecutive wins followed by two straight losses before another pair of victories. Despite their inconsistency, they have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six away games, suggesting a strong defensive foundation. However, their 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Ipswich stands out as a particularly high-scoring and disappointing result. The Owls have scored 8 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 away matches, resulting in a slightly negative goal difference. With a total goals average of 2.83 and only 33% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals, Sheffield Wednesday's away matches tend to be relatively low-scoring affairs.
