Sheffield Wednesday (home)
- Sheffield Wednesday are bottom of the Championship, with -7 points from 25 games, and they come into Tuesday’s game winless in five (D3, L2) after back-to-back 3-0 defeats on the road.
- Henrik Pedersen’s team have failed to win any of their 13 home games this term (D4, L9) and have found goals hard to come by, scoring just seven times in 13 games at Hillsborough.
- Midfielder Barry Bannan, with three goals in 25 Championship games, is one of the few players to offer a spark going forward for the Owls, who are 5.4 outsiders for this game.
Birmingham City (away)
- Birmingham City have been steady if unspectacular in mid-table this term, sitting 14th in the Championship with 34 points from 26 games.
- They have struggled away from home, however, winning just twice in 13 league games on the road (D2, L9), but did not lose on their last away trip to the Owls.
- Birmingham have conceded 23 times in their 13 road trips, averaging 1.77 goals per game on their travels, but they will have more attacking quality available in this game.
- Marvin Ducksch has found his shooting boots recently, netting two of Birmingham’s last five Championship goals, and Jay Stansfield leads the way for the club with eight in 24 league appearances.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head meeting ended 2-2 at St Andrew’s , so both teams can certainly score in this match.
