Pick of the stats: West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield Wednesday
- Published
Sheffield Wednesday will look to make inroads on their points deficit as they make the trip to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
The Owls are currently on -6 points following a 12 point deduction after they entered administration, leaving them 14 points adrift at the bottom of the table.
However, the Baggies have lost both their previous two matches and will be just as spirited to try and avoid dropping off the pace with this season's promotion contenders at the top of the table.
West Brom have lost just two of their last 12 league games against Sheffield Wednesday (W7 D3), scoring in all but one match during that time.
Sheffield Wednesday are winless across their last six away league games against West Brom (D2 L4), losing on their last three visits to the Hawthorns in succession.
West Brom are unbeaten across their last six league games against sides from Yorkshire (W2 D4), since a 3-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in September 2024.
Sheffield Wednesday have conceded 25 goals across their opening 12 Championship matches this season, their most at this stage of a campaign since 1999-2000 (27), a campaign during which they were relegated from the Premier League.
Only rivals Sheffield United (9) have netted fewer Championship goals than Sheffield Wednesday this season (10), though despite that, the Owls have amassed a bigger xG total (13.5) than West Brom (12.6).
