Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton match preview
The highly-anticipated 2023/24 Championship campaign is set to kick into gear this Friday, August 4th.
This comes as two sides fresh off returns to England’s 2nd tier – Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton – prepare to lock horns at Hillsborough.
Beginning with the former, Wednesday, of course, sealed their Championship comeback courtesy of the most remarkable of playoff finale victories, back in May.
After a full 120 minutes of goalless action between the Owls and Barnsley, Josh Windass etched his name into the history books, with a last-gasp Wembley winner.
Upcoming opponents Southampton, on the other hand, will now kick efforts to secure a swift Premier League return into gear.
The Saints saw a season-long push to maintain their top-flight status ultimately fall short in 2022/23, and in concerning fashion, too, 11 points off the eventual safety mark.
So, just how do we at 101 envision Friday’s Hillsborough showdown playing out?
Opening day fixtures, for obvious reasons, are always tough ones to call, as new squads, formations and ideologies come together in a competitive setting for the very first time.
Both Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton are primed to head into the season with new managers at the helm, and a number of fresh additions on the books.
Simply put, though, the superior quality on display across the board gives the latter the edge here, and should prove enough to get Southampton’s promotion bid up and running by way of a three-point haul.
