Recent form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with a strong finish to their Championship campaign followed by a more inconsistent pre-season. The team ended their league season on a high note, securing three consecutive wins, including impressive 2-0 away victories against Sunderland and Alfreton Town, and a convincing 3-0 home win over West Brom. However, their pre-season friendlies have been less successful, with a heavy 4-0 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg standing out as a particularly high-scoring game. The team has shown resilience in their most recent matches, earning draws against Werder Bremen and Leganés. Despite finishing 20th in the Championship, their last six games have been relatively solid defensively, with four clean sheets and only conceding an average of one goal per game. The team's goal-scoring has been inconsistent, ranging from high-scoring affairs to goalless draws, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form shows a positive trend with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 6 games. Despite finishing 21st in the Championship with 51 points from 46 games, their recent performances in friendlies have been encouraging. The team has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times in these 6 matches, averaging 2 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping 3 clean sheets. A standout result was the 5-1 victory over Cheltenham, showcasing their attacking potential. The team has also demonstrated consistency, with a three-game winning streak in their most recent matches. Their ability to both score and prevent goals is reflected in the balanced 50% split between games with under and over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent home form shows resilience but a lack of consistent victories. Their last six home games have yielded one win, four draws, and one loss, with a notable 3-0 victory against West Brom standing out as their most impressive result. The team has demonstrated defensive stability, keeping two clean sheets and conceding only six goals across these matches. However, their offensive output has been modest, scoring 1.17 goals per game on average. Interestingly, 67% of these games have seen under 2.5 total goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters at home. The Owls have shown an ability to avoid defeat, with draws being the most common outcome, but their 20th position in the league indicates that converting these draws into wins remains a challenge.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games showing an equal split of three wins and three losses. The team has shown impressive offensive capabilities, scoring 9 goals in these matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding 7 goals at an average of 1.17 per game. A standout performance came in their 5-1 victory over Cheltenham, showcasing their potential for high-scoring games. However, the team has also experienced a run of two consecutive losses in their most recent Championship matches, failing to score in both. Their clean sheet record of 2 in 6 games suggests room for defensive improvement, while the even split between under and over 2.5 goals per game indicates varied match outcomes.
