Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle are gearing up for their Championship clash on Sunday, with both teams aiming for a positive start to the new season. Last season, both teams narrowly avoided relegation, with Plymouth appointing Wayne Rooney as their new head coach.
Rooney’s appointment raised a few eyebrows, given his lackluster stint at Birmingham City. However, there is optimism that he can turn things around at Plymouth and guide them to a better finish this season. With new signings like Muhamed Tijani and Victor Palsson, Plymouth will be looking to defy the odds and secure a higher position in the table.
On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday fans are excited about the prospect of a successful campaign under manager Danny Rohl. Rohl managed to keep the Owls in the Championship last season and has made some impressive signings to strengthen the squad. Players like Max Lowe, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Jamal Lowe bring experience and quality to the team.
In terms of pre-season form, Sheffield Wednesday faced tougher opposition compared to Plymouth, with draws against Werder Bremen and Leganes. Meanwhile, Plymouth secured wins against lower-level EFL teams, showing promise for the season ahead.
In terms of possible lineups, Sheffield Wednesday could field a strong team with new signings like James Beadle, Max Lowe, and Jamal Lowe making their debuts. Plymouth, on the other hand, may see Bali Mumba and Adam Forshaw play crucial roles in the match.
Our prediction for the game is a 3-1 victory for Sheffield Wednesday. Based on their form at the end of last season and the quality of their squad, we believe they have what it takes to secure a convincing win over Plymouth. All eyes will be on Rooney and his impact on Plymouth, but we expect Sheffield Wednesday to come out on top in this encounter.
