Pick of the stats: Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City
- Published
After a dramatic comeback at Wrexham last Saturday saw them get off the mark, and buoyed by the EFL Cup win over Leeds, Henrik Pedersen's Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to secure their first win of the Championship season as they host Swansea City team on Saturday (15:00 BST).
The Swans are unbeaten since an opening day defeat to Middlesbrough, with Alan Sheehan's side picking up four points from their two league games since.
Sheffield Wednesday have won just one of their past eight league games against Swansea City (D4 L3), though that sole victory did come in their last meeting with the Swans in February (1-0).
Swansea City are unbeaten across their past four away league games against Sheffield Wednesday (W1 D3), their longest ever run at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday have failed to win any of their past five home league games against Welsh opposition (D3 L2), their longest run at Hillsborough against teams from the country.
Swansea's opening three Championship matches this season have seen themselves (2.12) and their opponents (1.33) combine to create chances worth just 3.45 xG in total, the lowest tally in the competition.
Sheffield Wednesday's Barry Bannan has created 10 chances and has played 36 passes into the opposition's penalty area so far in the Championship this season – both the most of any player in the competition.
