Our Prediction for the Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United Match
The "Owls" were promoted from League One just a year ago and managed to secure enough points to survive, finishing in the lower half of the Championship table. The "Whites" also find themselves back in the Championship, having been relegated from the Premier League. Under Daniel Farke, they failed to secure immediate promotion, finishing third in the regular season and losing to Southampton in the playoff final at Wembley.
Sheffield Wednesday made some notable signings, including Ike Ugbo, who was bought for over three million, and McNeil, who was loaned from Manchester United. Leeds United, on the other hand, sold their key player, Summerville, and also cashed in on Sinisterra and the young talent Gray. Several players, including Roca, Diego Llorente, Kamara, and Kristensen, have left, with only a few new arrivals like Rodon joining the squad.
Leeds started the season with a stumble, drawing 3-3 with Portsmouth. They also struggled in the League Cup, losing 0-3 at home to Middlesbrough. They failed to score against West Bromwich as well, but at least managed a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday thrashed Plymouth and followed that with a cup victory over Hull City away from home. However, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat at home to Sunderland.
