Sheffield Wednesday, under the management of Darren Moore, experienced their worst start to a league season after earning promotion back to the Championship. With just two points from their first 10 matches, the team has struggled since Moore's departure. Xisco Munoz took over as the new manager, but their initial stretch was difficult, losing their first four league games before finally securing a point in a goalless draw against Leeds United. However, their form has not improved since the international break. They suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Ipswich Town, followed by a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. Three consecutive defeats in their recent matches led to Munoz's departure. They lost 3-0 to both Swansea City and Sunderland before being unable to find an equalizer in their match against West Bromwich Albion. Currently, under temporary management by Neil Thompson, Sheffield Wednesday finds themselves at the bottom of the table, three points behind Rotherham United and seven points from safety. They are eager to secure their first league win of the season at Hillsborough on Saturday.
Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineup
Vasquez; Iorfa, Bernard, Famewo; Palmer, Buckley, Byers, Vaulks, Musaba; Smith, Gregory
Huddersfield Town form
Promotion-winning manager Darren Moore and his newly-formed Huddersfield Town team face a challenging task ahead as they enter the weekend following a midweek defeat. Last season, the team managed to avoid relegation under the guidance of Neil Warnock, who continued to lead them into the new season. After recording consecutive victories over West Bromwich Albion and Rotherham United, as well as a draw with Stoke City, Warnock departed last month. With just eight points from seven games, Huddersfield appointed Moore as their new manager. Under Moore's leadership, the team achieved a 1-1 draw against Coventry City and continued their unbeaten streak with a draw against Ipswich Town. However, their last game against Birmingham City ended in a 4-1 defeat, with Huddersfield's only goal coming as a late consolation. This result dropped them to 19th place in the Championship, and they will now aim to secure a win against their Yorkshire rivals, who are currently at the bottom of the league, to move away from the relegation zone.
Huddersfield Town Predicted Lineup
Nicholls; Pearson, Helik, Lees; Edwards, Nakayama, Wiles, Rudoni, Ruffels; Thomas, Koroma
Sheffield Wednesday vs Huddersfield Town Expert Tips
The Sheffield Wednesday team will aim to unite in front of their home crowd at Hillsborough Stadium following Munoz's departure. They desperately need to secure their first victory of the season. However, throughout the Championship season so far, they have shown a lack of quality. Therefore, we do not predict that they will earn all three points against the Terriers in their reunion with Darren Moore. Instead, we anticipate a draw as the outcome of the match. However taking a double chance on away side is beneficial looking at the odds.
