Sheffield Wednesday once thrashed Cambridge United 5-0 and 6-0 at home in 2022, but the last two meetings both ended 1-1, and in the most recent one Cambridge United came away with a 0-2 draw at home last October. The picture of this pair has therefore shifted from a game where the hosts ran riot to one where the visitors refuse to make it easy. Sheffield Wednesday started the season well with 5 wins from 11 matches, scoring 20 goals, but in the last five they have just lost two in a row, both by 0-2. An attack that once flowed smoothly is starting to stall, while Cambridge United have lost only 2 of 12, drawing as many as 5, and lost 2-3 in their most recent match. They are a team with plenty of draws but rarely beaten heavily. This game is likely to see Sheffield Wednesday dominate the ball and push forward, while Cambridge United sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts still cannot find a finishing touch as in the last two matches, the game could end close or level, which is the path Cambridge United handle more comfortably.
