The two will be facing off in the first match in the Championship after the international break and Middlesbrough will be hoping to recover from their shock home loss at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Sheffield Wednesday on their part, staged an impressive output to beat Bristol City 2 – 1 in their last match before the international break and will be hoping to continue in that breath. More crucially, Sheffield Wednesday go to this match on a four match unbeaten run and with impressive results in there, having beaten Aston Villa and drawn with Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion. Sheffield Wednesday have picked just one loss in their last seven matches and have failed to score in just one game in their last 10 matches but they have also not kept a clean sheet in the Championship this season. In their last nine Championship matches, Sheffield Wednesday have lost just once but they are unbeaten in the last six at home this season, while they have not lost in eight at home stretching back to last season. Their only home defeat this season came against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup but that 2 – 0 loss was the first of four winless home outings as Sheffield Wednesday have drawn each of the last three. They take on a Middlesbrough side on two wins in the last eight matches, though they have a win on post match penalties in between, having seen off Preston North End in the League Cup. Curiously, Middlesbrough have played three of their last four matches away from home but only came to lose at home, in the last match against Nottingham Forest. They have six clean sheets in their last 11 matches but have failed to score in four of those. Among the top 10 sides in the Championship, Middlesbrough are jointly the least prolific side, with 14 goals scored in 12 matches, while Sheffield Wednesday have scored 19. In their seven away matches this season in all competitions, Middlesbrough have lost once and in the Championship they have just one away loss in the season and only three in the last 15 stretching back to last season. They have three clean sheets in their last five away matches in the Championship and they head to this game unbeaten in their last five matches against Sheffield Wednesday, with three clean sheets in the process.
