Team News

Sheff Wed
Plymouth
  • Expect Sheffield Wednesday to line up in a 4-2-3-1 system on the opening day with space in the starting XI for new additions Max Lowe, Olaf Kobacki, Svante Ingelsson and Jamal Lowe.
  • Goalkeeper Ben Hamer is Danny Röhl's only injury concern heading into his side's first league game of the season.
  • Wayne Rooney will trial a 3-4-2-1 formation at the start of the season with new additions Victor Palsson, Ibrahim Cissoko and Muhamed Tijani all finding a role in the starting line-up.

Prediction

  • Danny Röhl's stock is at an all-time high heading into the 2024/25 season after he guided Sheffield Wednesday to a miraculous survival last term. The Owls looked doomed when he took over but stayed up on the final day following a commanding win against Sunderland. With some smart summer additions and a steadier ship, the hosts should avoid similar stresses this time around.
  • Plymouth stumbled across the line without a permanent manager at the helm last season, but their fate will be deemed a success given pre-season expectations after winning League One. Wayne Rooney takes charge for the 2024/25 campaign. He arrived to mixed reception, but with some exciting new signings in the mix and Morgan Whittaker still at the club, he has the foundations for success.

  • Like I knew, straight forward home win

  • Sheff Wed to beat Wayne Rooneys Plymouth.

  • @Marbella Rooney is clueless -)

  • Morgan Whittaker TSA +260

  • Sheff Wed lost 23 league matches last season - only Rotherham lost more.

  • Plymouth travel to one of the best league climbers at the end of last season. Can’t see Wednesday starting like they did last year. Straight forward home win
