Sheffield Wednesday's Struggles at Home
Sheffield Wednesday has been enduring a challenging season, particularly at home, where they have yet to secure a victory in 11 attempts. Their home record of 0-2-9 is a stark reminder of their struggles, compounded by a three-match losing streak at Hillsborough. The Owls have also failed to score in 7 of their 11 home matches, highlighting their offensive woes. Despite having a rich history and a passionate fan base, Sheffield Wednesday's current form is a far cry from their storied past.
Hull City's Resilience on the Road
Hull City, on the other hand, has shown some resilience in their away fixtures, scoring in 9 out of 10 away matches this season. Although they sit in the 21st position in the Championship, their recent performances have been slightly more promising than Sheffield Wednesday's. Hull City's ability to score late in matches, with 22% of their goals coming between the 76th and 90th minutes, could prove crucial against a Sheffield Wednesday side that has conceded in each of their last 7 matches.
Head-to-Head Insights
Historically, Hull City has had the upper hand in this fixture, winning 12 out of the last 25 meetings against Sheffield Wednesday. The most common result between these two sides is a 0-1 victory for Hull City, which has occurred 7 times. Last season, Hull City managed to win both encounters, including a 0-1 victory at Hillsborough. This historical dominance, coupled with Sheffield Wednesday's poor home form, suggests that Hull City could once again come out on top.
Prediction and Conclusion
Given the current form and historical data, Hull City appears to have the edge in this matchup. Sheffield Wednesday's inability to secure a home win and their defensive vulnerabilities make them susceptible to Hull City's attacking threats. While both teams have shown inconsistencies, Hull City's slightly better form and historical success against Sheffield Wednesday lead us to predict an away victory. However, considering both teams' tendencies to concede goals, it's likely that both teams will find the net in this encounter.
