Sheffield Wednesday and AFC Wimbledon meet in League One, with the hosts having just finished their last game with a 2-2 draw, while the visitors lost 1-2. This game is therefore a meeting between a team trying to get back to winning and a team trying to keep its form from sinking further. Sheffield Wednesday are still unbeaten in five straight, but in the league they recently finished with two 0-0 draws before arriving at the last match where the two sides scored two apiece. The season overall is 4 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss, 15 scored, 8 conceded, which are the numbers of a team whose attack is running steadily. AFC Wimbledon, meanwhile, have not won in four straight, and the attack is clearly stuck when you look at the average of 3.1 shots on target per game in the last 10 matches, compared with the hosts' 5.5 shots on target and 55.3% possession against the visitors' 41.8%. This game is likely to be the hosts holding the ball and attacking the visitors, who will sit back and wait to counter. If Sheffield Wednesday can take the lead first, the game will force AFC Wimbledon to open up even more, and that is the period when the hosts should find a second chance. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether the hosts can press hard enough to create clear chances from the first half.
