**Competition:** English Championship
**Date:** Saturday 11 August 2024
**Kick-off:** 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
**Venue:** Hillsborough (Sheffield) Sheffield

Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle will meet in the opening game of the English Championship at the Hillsborough Stadium, with both sides eager to get the season off to a flying start.

Despite Sheffield Wednesday being widely seen as a team set for relegation to the third tier of English football, they have made a remarkable comeback when it matters most, collecting 14 points from a possible 18 to lift them out of bottom place and into the Championship for another year. Although their preparations for the new season have not been perfect, with just one win in four friendlies this summer, the Owls were able to draw encouragingly from a 2-2 draw at Bundesliga side Werder Bremen in late July. Plymouth will be fighting hard

for their place in the league, as will their next opponents. They avoided relegation with a one-goal win at Hull City on the final day of the season, finishing just one point above the relegation zone. Heading into the 2024-25 Championship campaign, the Pilgrims have been boosted by a prodigious pre-season, having won three of their last five friendlies, with the latest victory coming at fourth-tier Milton Keynes Dons by a score of 1-0.

**Betting Tip: Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth: Under 2.5 Goals**

This is a tough match to predict between two similar teams, so we believe both teams will be playing defensively to avoid a poor start to the new season, and it wouldn’t be surprising if just one goal were the winner of this match. A slow and uninspired affair is expected at Hillsborough, as we have seen in our last four meetings at the ground, with the Owls’ last two narrow 1-0 wins.

Sheffield have a reputation for being stubborn at home, with seven of their last ten home matches ending in two or more goals. Plymouth also clearly lacked attacking depth towards the end of last season. They have failed to score more than once in 12 consecutive games in the second division, and in half of those matches they have failed to score at all. With both teams struggling to convert chances and prone to cautious defensive play, it seems a single goal could be enough to decide the winner in a match that is expected to see few goals scored and is certainly going to be a tight contest.
