Sheffield Wednesday vs Nottingham Forest Match Preview

Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to bounce back from a comprehensive road loss last weekend going down 5-0 at Brentford. It is back-to-back defeats for Wednesday in the league and means they have taken just six points from their last ten.

At Hillsborough, the Owls are struggling have won just one of their last seven here with five of these ending in defeat. A lack of home goals is the main concern for the Yorkshire outfit with just two bagged here in the last six.

Nottingham Forest saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end last weekend as they were undone at home to Millwall by three goals to nil. It means the East Midlands outfit have won just one of their last six and the gap between them and West Brom in second is ten points.

Away from the City Ground, the Tricky Trees are strong with no defeat in their last three and just one in the last seven. Of the last eight goals they have managed on the road seven have come from different sources while Tiago Silva has two in four.

Bookmakers are struggling to split the pair with the hosts marginal favourites because of their home advantage. Neither side are showing any kind of form so it would be hard to side with them in the 90 minute market.

Instead take a look at a couple of players in the anytime goalscorer market and for the hosts Jordan Rhodes will look to this game having got a hat-trick in the reverse fixture. For the visitors, Joao Carvalho went close to netting last time and looks value to get one here.
