Recent respective form guides
Sheffield Wednesday's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Saints have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sheff. Wed.'s 54 points from 43 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Southampton are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 44 points from their 43 games thus far.
