Sheffield Wednesday vs. Stoke – Prediction (22.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in six league games against Stoke (W2 D4 L0) since a 2-0 defeat in November 2005. Both Championship games between Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke ended as draws last season, with both sides having different managers in each game.

Garry Monk has done a fine job of organising this Sheffield Wednesday side who have conceded just 0.83 league goals per-match on average ahead of kick-off. Notably, that average falls to 0.6 on home soil, where Wednesday have scored the opener in four of five league games. Leading the way for Wednesday with five goals, Steven Fletcher has found the net before half-time with each of his last three strikes. The hosts are comfortably the worst-disciplined side in the Championship, having registered a league-high of 29 bookings (2.42 bookings per-match on average) and a red card. Moreover, the ‘Owls’ have received more bookings than their opposition in three of their last four home games.

Two of Sheffield Wednesday’s three home league victories were level at half-time. Only Brentford have received fewer than Stoke’s 15 bookings this season (1.25 per-match on average). Three of Stoke’s last five Championship away defeats have come by a 3-1 scoreline, while four saw both teams score.

Visiting coach Nathan Jones has drawn both of his prior H2Hs with Wednesday 0-0, though he lost on his only prior meeting with Monk (0-1). The ‘Potters’ travel after winning consecutive league games for the first time since October 2018, though they have not won three in a row since October 2016. Last time out, Lee Gregory provided the assist before scoring himself, to secure Stoke’s second league victory of the season. Averaging 2.8 total goals per-match, Stoke’s away league games this term have assured entertainment. Barring a 0-0 draw at Brentford, all of Stoke’s away games so far have seen both teams score with over 2.5 goals in the game, though Stoke conceded the opener in three of the five games in that category.
