Sheffield Wednesday have beaten Notts County many times in their head-to-head history and recently thrashed them 3-0 in the last meeting in August, but this time the shape of the game for both sides is quite different. Notts County still cannot find a win in the league; in nine matches they have collected only one point out of three, their attack has scored just eight goals all season, but in the first half at home they still set up well, conceding an average of only 0.25 goals per game, while Sheffield Wednesday come in with hot form, unbeaten in five straight, scoring 20 goals from nine matches, and clearly dominating possession at 55.1% per game. This game is likely to play out with the hosts defending deep and waiting to counter, especially in the late stages when Notts County most often score. If Sheffield Wednesday cannot break through in the early period, the game could drag on and end closely contested, which is the way the hosts want it. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly Sheffield Wednesday can press until they score.
