Sheffield Weds v Oxford Utd

---

Sheffield Wednesday stumbled to a third consecutive loss in the Championship during the week when The Owls were dealt a 1-0 defeat at home by high-flying Middlesbrough, leaving the Yorkshire club rooted to the bottom of the English second tier table ahead of this weekend’s action.

Previous defeats by the likes of Coventry City 5-0 and Charlton Athletic 2-1 have added to Sheffield Wednesday’s woes both on and off the field as demonstrations continue against the current owners of the club, and having managed to collect just one win all season to date, the hosts look to be in early trouble.

The Owls’ singular highlight so far in this season’s campaign came by way of a 1-0 home win against Portsmouth but three draws along with seven defeats suggest Henrik Pedersen’s side could face another tricky afternoon at the office on Saturday.

Oxford United find themselves hovering just above the relegation zone in the Championship table as The U’s continue to find some sort of consistency in picking up results under manager Gary Rowett.

The visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their opening 11 league matches this term but a 3-1 win away from home at Bristol City towards the end of September suggests Oxford United could pose a few problems this Saturday.

An away record of 1-1-4 6/8 is nothing to write home about but the visitors will feel they stand a decent chance of at least holding their own against a struggling Sheffield Wednesday outfit at Hillsborough.

The Betting Verdict

Oxford United have slipped to just one defeat in their last six meetings against Sheffield Wednesday.
