Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction: Both teams escaped relegation in the final game

Sheffield Wednesday will be playing against Plymouth Argyle in Hillsborough Stadium during Game Week 1 of the English Championship. Both teams escaped relegation in the final game of the season the last time around. Who can come out on top after 90 minutes?

Optimism, however, will elude Sheffield Wednesday, as they shall continue to bank on Danny Rohl to lead them to victory this season, having succeeded in keeping the team in the Championship last season. Add to that the fact that Rohl has won 16 out of 38 matches—an strong proof that indeed, he is the man for the job. Notable signings include Max Lowe, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Jamal Lowe. All players with experience and of good quality in an attempt to add some wisdom to the team. Although pre-season didn't look easy—with Werder Bremen and Leganes—Wednesday showed glimpses of a well-worked campaign.

Plymouth raised one or two eyebrows by naming Rooney as their permanent new boss following on from his failure at Birmingham City. However, already it has become apparent that he wasn't the problem at St Andrew's, with that in mind, hopes are high for Rooney doing a decent job at Home Park. Despite bookies making them favourites for relegation once again, Rooney thinks his Plymouth side can finish higher up the table. Added to the team is forward Muhamed Tijani and defender Victor Palsson, whom Rooney knows from his time at DC United. In pre-season, Plymouth achieved three wins against lower-level EFL teams. They only lost to Bristol Rovers after drawing with Orlando Pirates.

While the attentions will be upon Rooney's leadership, toward the end of last season, Sheffield Wednesday did enough to prove they might well turn out to be one of the promotion contenders. We predict a convincing win. We expect Over 2.5 Goals in the match with Both Teams to Score.
