Fulham vs Sheffield Wednesday Soccer Betting Picks
4th in the Championship at the end of the regular phase last season, Fulham then validated his rise in the elite after having gained the upper hand over Cardiff and Brentford during the play-offs. An express return to the Premier League for Fulham, who only a year after leaving the elite, found him with a fairly similar squad carried by Championship 2020 top scorer Mitrovic. But for now, a bit like in 2018/2019, Fulham does not have the level. Before this defeat against another promoted, Leeds United de Bielsa (3-4) this weekend, the London formation suffered at home from the superiority of Arsenal Gunners (0-3) 10 days ago. 18th in the Premier League, Fulham will have to react and quickly.
After being found guilty of breaking the financial rules of the English Football League, the club Sheffield Wednesday will start the 2020-2021 season with a penalty of minus 12 points in the Championship. After two days, it seems that this penalty gives wings to the residents of the magnificent Hillsborough stadium. Victorious in the Welsh capital on the Cardiff lawn (0-2) on day one, the Sheffield side shared the points with Watford, one of the favorites on the climb on Day 2 at home (0 -0). Sheffield is still in 24th place, but only 8 points behind 23rd (Wycombe). And in the Carabao Cup, the team disposed of Walsall and Rochdale.
The workforce for Fulham vs Sheffield Wednesday
Former Marseille midfielder Mario Lemina came to strengthen the team as did former Parisian Alphonse Areola, former Lyonnais Kenny Tete, and the versatile Nigerian side Ola Aina (Torino). Back from his loan at Galatasaray, the former Niçois Seri will not be in the game while Johansen is uncertain. Former England international Scott Parker, who now serves as Fulham’s coach at only 39, can count on Mitrovic, who scored 26 Championship goals last year.
Opposite, many important players left the group in the offseason, starting with the former Marseillais, but also Jacob Murphy (Newcastle), Da Cruz (Parma), Wickham (Crystal Palace), and Windass (Wigan). Chelsea U23 Izzy Brown was loaned an extra season to Sheffield. Leaders expect a lot from rookie Elias Kachunga at the point of attack. No injury, suspension, or uncertainty has been reported from Sheffield Wednesday.
