Betting Preview for Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City Betting On Sheffield Wednesday Henrik Pederson\u2019s men come into this fixture aiming to bounce back from their opening weekend defeat. They suffered a 2-1 loss away to last season\u2019s champions Leicester City despite taking an early lead through Nathaniel Chalobah. The Owls sit 16th in the standings after that result but restored some confidence with an EFL Cup win in midweek, edging Bolton Wanderers 4-2 on penalties. Interestingly, Wednesday have been a tough nut to crack for Stoke at Hillsborough, going unbeaten in their last seven home league meetings (W2 D5). Betting On Stoke City Mark Robins\u2019 side started their league campaign in style with a 3-1 win at home over Derby County. Despite trailing on the hour mark, the Potters mounted a strong late comeback, scoring twice in stoppage time to secure all three points and move up to 2nd in the table. They followed it up with a penalty shootout victory over Walsall in the EFL Cup after a goalless draw. However, history is not on their side here, Stoke haven\u2019t won their first away game of a Championship season in 17 attempts and are looking for consecutive league wins over Sheffield for the first time since 1984. MatchPlug Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City Sheffield Wednesday\u2019s inconsistent home form stretches back to last season, but their record against Stoke at Hillsborough is impressive.&nbsp; Stoke\u2019s strong start will give them hope, but their away-day struggles and poor history in this fixture suggest points could be shared.
