Accrington Stanley vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Five of Accrington’s last six matches saw both teams score.
• Five of Sheffield Wednesday’s drawn games saw both teams score.
• Sheffield Wednesday have not kept a clean sheet in nine straight away games.

Failure to launch yet again for the plucky Owls?

Accrington Stanley aren’t exactly pulling up trees this campaign as they languish in mid-table ahead of this match. However, they can take positives from their run of three unbeaten games across their last four in league action, including a hard-fought draw against one of the pre-season promotion favourites, Portsmouth. Consequently, I predict that Accrington can cause a few problems for the travelling Owls here today in what is the first meeting of the sides here since September 1982, when Accrington won 4-2!

On the other hand we have Sheffield Wednesday, who come into this as favourites despite the fact that they won just two of their last nine matches across all competitions (D6, L1). Unsurprisingly then, Wednesday have drew more league games than any other side in the division which is almost half of their total so far (47%). Considering both the latter and the fact that five of Wednesday’s eight league draws so far ended one apiece, I am predicting that exact score line yet again here.
