Both teams will be eager for a winning start as they both come from different divisions. Hence, we expect goals at both ends with the statistics showing a 55% possibility for that to happen.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are back in the Championship after two years away. The Owls finished third in League One and had to go through a playoff which they won. They have a new manager in charge Xisco Munoz who has the tough task of at least avoiding relegation.
