Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can Owls get off to good start?
Sheffield Wednesday will be eager to go one step better this time around in League One after losing to Sunderland in last season’s play-off final, with manager, Darren Moore, tasked with the challenge of lifting this sleeping giant back into the Championship.
The Owls finished in 4th place at the end of last season and their success was built upon a solid record at home where they held stats of 16-5-2 48/18 which included finishing with an unbeaten run of nine games at home including a 4-1 romp over Saturday’s opponents, Portsmouth.
Portsmouth Preview – Can Pompey chime in with a win?
Although Portsmouth held their own throughout the majority of last season in the third tier, the visitors ended up in a mid-table position of 10th place and another season of consolidation looks likely for the south coast side as they look to gain a foothold and steady the ship in the division under manager Danny Cowley.
Pompey were solid on home soil at their beloved Fratton Park last season, losing on just four occasions, but results away from home were fairly ordinary as Portsmouth won just twice in their last 12 outings on the road which included five defeats.
