Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:

Sheffield Wednesday head into this fixture on the back of 2 straight defeats and on a run of just 1 win in their 10 Championship matches this season. 

The Owls’ only victory of the campaign came away from home at Portsmouth, with the talismanic Barry Bannan opening the scoring before George Brown sealed a 2-0 victory.

Wednesday did take a point at home to Queens Park Rangers thanks to a Nicolas Madsen penalty and away from home at Birmingham City, thanks to strikes from Jamal Lowe and George Brown.

A devastating defeat followed when Coventry City beat Pedersen’s side 5-0 at Hillsborough before the Owls went down 2-1 at The Valley to Charlton Athletic, with Jamal Lowe getting the consolation. 

Sheffield Wednesday are bottom of the Championship having taken just 6 points from their 10 games, with only 1 of those points coming on home soil. Wednesday have scored just 9 times in 10 matches and Barry Bannan is the stand out performer for the Owls, scoring 2 and assisting 2 goals for his team. 

Henrik Pedersen’s side have the worst defence in the league, conceding 22 goals at an average of 2.2 per game and they have kept just 1 clean sheet.

Middlesbrough started the campaign in blistering form, winning 4 of their opening 5 Championship matches. Since then, Rob Edwards’ side have won just 2 of their 5 matches but that did include a home win over Ipswich Town last time out.

Boro’s last 5 began with a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Riverside with David Strelec and Kaly Sene getting on the scoresheet.

Sene was again on target as his side drew 1-1 away at Southampton before a goalless encounter at home to Stoke City. Defeat at Portsmouth followed before an own goal and Morgan Whittaker secured a valuable 2-1 home win victory over the Tractor Boys.

Middlesbrough have collected 21 points and scored 14 goals so far this season, with Kaly Sene and Tommy Conway leading the way on 2 each. Hayden Hackney, Morgan Whittaker and Luke Ayling have all chipped in with 3 assists.

Boro’s defensive record is second only to Stoke City as they have conceded just 7 goals and have kept 4 clean sheets.

It is hard to separate these sides in their recent head to head record, with 8 wins for Wednesday and 9 for Middlesbrough to go with the 4 draws. Over those matches, Sheffield Wednesday have scored 28 times to Middlesbrough’s 31 strikes. With 59 goals scored in 21 matches, the average goals per meeting of these sides is 2.8.

Last season saw Wednesday go unbeaten against their opponents, drawing in dramatic style on Boxing Day before winning at home over the Easter weekend.

The Steel City side had been 3-0 down away from home but fought back to earn a 3-3 draw before Josh Windass and Anthony Musaba scored to secure a 2-1 win at Hillsborough.
