Match Analysis
Sheffield Wednesday are in a historically poor run, winless at home all season, with five straight defeats and the worst attack and defence in the league. Southampton, by contrast, are in strong form, unbeaten in five, and have scored freely while limiting their opponents. The H2H record is also overwhelmingly in Southampton's favour, with four wins and a draw in the last five meetings. The most likely scenario is a comfortable Southampton win, with a strong chance of a clean sheet and multiple goals.
