When Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle square up in the Championship on Sunday afternoon, both teams hope to start their campaigns strong.
The visitors, who have since hired Wayne Rooney as their new head coach, only managed to avoid relegation on the last day of the previous campaign.
Head-to-Head
Recently, home advantage has been crucial in this matchup, as the away team has lost the last four encounters. Sheffield Wednesday has triumphed 1-0 in the last two meetings at Hillsborough. With 17 wins apiece and 13 draws, the head-to-head record could not be closer. However, Wednesday’s preseason has been uneven, with one win, one tie, and one loss. That featured two consecutive scoring blanks, which is concerning, but they should be up to speed now. England legend Wayne Rooney will lead the visiting dugout for the first time in a competitive match. Plymouth, which placed 21st in the Championship the previous season, will require a makeover this year.
Team News
On August 3, Wednesday gave a promising effort against Leganes, despite failing to end the scoreless draw.
It appeared that the players that started that game could take the lead here, as no changes were made until the 74th minute.
James Beadle, Yan Valery, Max, and Jamal Lowe would all make their debuts in that situation, and Ike Ugbo, the most recent addition, would be chosen to start on the bench as a substitute.
Rooney, meanwhile, needed 66 minutes to alter the course of the 1-0 victory over MK Dons by giving more players opportunities in the last quarter.
If Rooney decides to play more defensively, Adam Forshaw might be given a chance in central midfield, although Bali Mumba might start at right-back.
Probable Line-Up
Sheffield Wednesday XI:
Beadle; Valery, Iorfa, Famewo, M.Lowe, Palmer, Bannan, Gassama, Musaba, Windass, J.Lowe
Plymouth Argyle XI:
Hazard; Mumba, Gibson, Palsson, Ogbeta; Houghton, Forshaw, Randell; Whittaker, Tijani, Cissoko
Verdict
Tip Sheffield Wednesday To Win✅
Reason
Recently, home advantage has been crucial in this matchup, as the away team has lost the last four encounters. Sheffield Wednesday has triumphed 1-0 in the last two meetings at Hillsborough. With 17 wins apiece and 13 draws, the head-to-head record could not be closer. Everyone will be watching Rooney and his team’s performance under his leadership. However, given the conclusion of the previous season, this feels like a forward-thinking Sheffield Wednesday team that might contend for promotion, which is why we believe they will win handily.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
The Owls defeated Plymouth at Hillsborough in March, finishing the season with four victories and two ties. This was the home team’s sixth straight victory in this match, and since Plymouth’s last two visits here resulted in 1-0 losses, it might be prudent to bet an under 2.5 goals game today.
