Sheffield Wed vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
Sheffield Wed vs Southampton is the opening match of the new football season in England, a match played in the second league, Championship, on Friday evening from 20:00. A team promoted from League One and a team relegated from the Premier League meet. The most recent direct confrontation between the two teams took place last year in the second round of the EFL Cup, and after 120 minutes of play the score was equal 1-1, but Southampton won the penalty shootout.
Sheffield Wed:
Sheffield Wed is a newly promoted team in the Championship, managing to enter the second league after winning the play-off for promotion from League One. Sheffield Wed finished the season in 3rd place in the ranking and with little chance they could have promoted directly, finishing only two points behind the 2nd place occupied by Ipswich. Sheffield had an interesting path in the semi-finals of the play-off and this because they had lost the round match against Peterborough with the score of 4-0, but in the return they managed to win with the same score and then to win in the kicks from 11m. In the play-off final, Sheffield defeated Barnsley, scoring the winning and promotion goal, in the 120th+3rd minute.
Southampton:
On the other hand, Southampton returns to the second league after 11 consecutive seasons spent in the first league, the Premier League. Southampton managed to win only six games out of 38 last season, being the weakest team in this chapter, which is why they finished last in the standings. Another chapter in which Southampton suffered was the attack and although it did not have the most attack with only 36 goals scored, it also had the most defeats in the Premier League, 25 in number. The best match, but also the most spectacular, was not a victory, but the last match in the championship, when it ended in a tie, score 4-4 on home ground in the company of Liverpool, a match in which they were led by 2- 0, came back until the break, after which it took the lead with 4-2, but it was equalized again.
