Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can the Owls make home advantage count?
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking for an instant return to the EFL Championship after their long stay in the second tier came to an end last season. The Owls have found League One life tough going so far, winning just 11 of 27 games.
Wednesday went up against fellow promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town last weekend. As expected, it was tough and tense affair at Hillsborough, with one goal proving to the difference between the two clubs. Marvin Johnson’s sixth-minute goal gave the Owls a 1-0 victory.
Sheffield Wednesday have been incredibly hard to beat on their own patch this season. In fact, in League One, only Oxford United have left Hillsborough with all three points. Can they follow up the Ipswich success with another home win here?
Morecambe Preview – Can the Shrimps cause an upset in Sheffield?
Morecambe won promotion to League One via the EFL League Two play-off route last term. It was always going to be a tough season for the Shrimps, but Stephen Robinson’s men are above the dreaded dotted line at present.
Since narrowly losing to promotion favourites Wigan Athletic in mid-January, Morecambe have taken four points from their two following league fixtures. They beat Wycombe Wanderers 3-2 at home before drawing 2-2 at Accrington Stanley last time out.
