Recent respective form guides
Sheffield Wednesday's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Owls have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Saints's have scored 12 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 13.
Sheff. Wed. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 16 points from their 15 matches. Southampton's 20 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
