Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Argyle Predictions

• Sheffield Wednesday ended last season with four wins and two draws.
• Plymouth lost three of their last four away games last term.
• The home side has won this fixture on each of the last six occasions.

Pilgrims ready for tough season

Sheffield Wednesday ended the season in emphatic form as they guided themselves to safety, and they could start the new campaign with a confidence-boosting win over a Plymouth side expected to struggle.

The Pilgrims are among the favourites for the drop this season, with new manager Wayne Rooney becoming accustomed to overseeing relegation campaigns.

Home advantage key in this fixture

These two sides were separated by one position and two points when the curtain closed on last season, but Plymouth picked up just 16 of their points away from home and lost three of their final four trips.

The Owls ended their season with four wins and two draws and they beat Plymouth at Hillsborough in March. That was the sixth successive time that the home side in this fixture has won, and Plymouth’s last two trips here have ended in 1-0 defeats, so backing a home win and a 1-0 correct score prediction appeals.
