Already relegated Sheffield Wednesday will try again to pick up a first home win of the season when they welcome Ipswich to Hillsborough on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The Owls were denied only their second victory of the campaign when they conceded at the death to draw 1-1 with Watford last time out.

Fourth-placed Ipswich are unbeaten in five and just four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots, but have only managed to draw their past two Championship games.

  • Sheffield Wednesday have lost their last three league games against Ipswich Town by an aggregate score of 10-1.

  • Ipswich have only lost on two of their last 13 league visits to Sheffield Wednesday (W5 D6) and won 1-0 there on their last visit in September 2023.

  • Sheffield Wednesday's last home league win on a Saturday was back in December 2024, when they beat Stoke in a 12.30pm kick off (D4 L13 since). In 3:00pm kick-offs on Saturdays, their last win at Hillsborough was in the 2023-24 season, 3-0 against West Brom in April 2024.

  • Ipswich haven't won any of their away Championship games this season against sides currently in the bottom six of the table, losing at Oxford and Leicester and drawing with Blackburn.

  • Ipswich Town's Jack Clarke has been involved in four goals in his last four league games against Sheffield Wednesday (3 goals, 1 assist) and scored twice on his last trip to Hillsborough for Sunderland in September 2023.
