Sheffield Wednesday host Plymouth at Hillsborough today. A ground that the hosts lost only once to (vs Leeds) in their final 9 home league games. Manager Danny Rohl will be looking to this game to carry on momentum entering a brand new season.
Sheffield Wednesday finished the 2023/24 season very strongly. They were unbeaten in their last 6 league games – winning 4, drawing 2.
Plymouth avoided relegation by just 1 point last season. They have since appointed Wayne Rooney as their new head coach. I’m not entirely convinced by Rooney yet. An overall managerial win rate of 26% – he registered just 2 wins in his 15 games as Birmingham manager (13.3%) – it will be interesting to see how he gets on at Plymouth.
Plymouth registered just 3 away wins last season – meaning they racked up the 3rd worst away record in the division. Plymouth have also struggled in the past at Hillsborough – Sheffield Wednesday have won their last 3 home games vs Plymouth over the last 2 years.
Tip: Sheffield Wednesday To Win @ 1.83
