The upcoming match between Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday is set to be an interesting one, with the home team appearing to be the favorite. Portsmouth has been in better form than their opponents, with a higher number of goals scored in recent matches. On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday has struggled to score goals and has a worrisome average of goals conceded in away matches, making them vulnerable on the road.
In terms of previous encounters, the number of goals scored suggests that this match may have a low-scoring outcome. Despite Sheffield Wednesday securing a victory in the last direct confrontation between the two teams, Portsmouth will be looking to turn the tables and secure a win this time around.
The home team, under the guidance of their coach John Mousinho, has been averaging 0.8 goals per game this season. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday, led by Henrik Pedersen, has only been able to muster an average of 0.6 goals per game. This difference in scoring efficiency could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
For Sheffield Wednesday, playing on Portsmouth's home turf will pose a significant challenge, given their past struggles on the road. The home advantage could prove to be decisive for Portsmouth, as they look to capitalize on their superior form and goal-scoring ability. However, Sheffield Wednesday will be determined to put up a strong fight and secure a positive result, despite the odds being against them.
