Plymouth

WLDDL

Plymouth suffered a 2-0 loss to Hull City in their last game to extend their winless run to five games. However, they remain unbeaten in their last four games at home in all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup. They sit 23rd on the table with 30 points in 35 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 70. They have the worst defensive record in the Championship this season. Elsewhere, Ryan Hardie, Brendan Galloway, and Muhamed Tijani are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday suffered a 2-1 loss to Sunderland in their last game, with Callum Paterson scoring between the two Sunderland’s goals.

The Owls sit 13th on the table with 45 points in 35 games, scoring 47 goals and conceding 56. However, Callum Paterson is doubtful for this clash, while Max Lowe, Di'Shon Bernard, Yan Valery, Akin Famewo, Stuart Armstrong, Michael Smith, and Anthony Musaba are ruled out of this game.

Expert Betting Tips

Sheffield Wednesday lost their last three games, but I still believe in them to win this game because Plymouth are one of the worst teams in the Championship this season, having secured just six wins since the beginning of the season. Moreover, I expect a low-scoring game in this clash, even though the hosts are poor defensively.
