Battle at the Bottom: Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough Seek Redemption
Key Stats
– Middlesbrough have remained winless in their last 11 Championship games.
– Sheffield Wednesday have suffered five losses in their first six Championship matches of the 2023-24 season.
The Championship will witness a tense showdown at Hillsborough as Sheffield Wednesday face off against Middlesbrough, both of whom have had a rocky start to the season.
Recent Performances
Sheffield Wednesday, still smarting from their recent 1-0 defeat to Ipswich Town, are desperately seeking to regain some semblance of form. Middlesbrough, led by Michael Carrick, also faced a setback, losing 2-1 to Blackburn Rovers. While Ipswich smoothly transitioned from League One, Sheffield Wednesday, victors of the playoffs, are struggling to find their footing.

The Sheffield side’s recent loss saw a dominant Ipswich, despite the valiant efforts of goalkeeper Devis Vasquez. A deflected shot from Conor Chaplin broke the deadlock just before half-time. The game ended with Sheffield facing their fifth loss from six Championship outings in the 2023-24 season.
Middlesbrough, too, have had their struggles, remaining winless in their last 11 Championship games. Their defensive woes are evident, with the team conceding nine goals on the road. Yet, they do have a promising record against Sheffield, with two wins in their last three encounters.
Teams and Tactics
Following their defeat by Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday’s manager Xisco Munoz is likely to introduce some changes to his starting lineup. While captain Barry Bannan’s absence was keenly felt, there’s hope he might return for the upcoming game. With injuries to key players, such as Dominic Iorfa, it’s likely we’ll see Di’Shon Bernard step up to the plate. Munoz might also consider fielding Watford loanee Ashley Fletcher to spearhead the attack.
Middlesbrough’s manager Carrick has his challenges as well. With left-back Alex Bangura’s hamstring injury casting doubts over his participation, Lukas Engel may get the nod. Players like Anfernee Dijksteel and Matt Clarke are also ruled out, but Marcus Forss’s recent form might just be the silver lining Boro needs.
Predictions
1. Match Outcome Prediction: Given the recent form and performance metrics of both teams, a draw seems to be a reasonable expectation. Sheffield’s attacking issues combined with Middlesbrough’s defensive vulnerabilities make this a tricky prediction. However, taking into account their respective possession percentages and recent performances, a draw seems the most likely outcome.
2. Correct Score Prediction: Taking a deeper dive into the stats, both teams are struggling to find the net, with only eight goals between them. Combining this with the potential jadedness from weekend matches, a 0-0 draw seems plausible.
