Middlesbrough FC vs Sheffield Wednesday

MIDDLESBROUGH, England (Interstat) — Middlesbrough FC will look to complete a season double over Sheffield Wednesday when the sides meet in a Championship fixture at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday.

The hosts enter the match unbeaten in their last three league outings (W1, D2), including a 2-2 draw at promotion-chasing Ipswich Town on Sunday. Sheffield Wednesday arrives after a 1-1 home draw with Charlton Athletic last Saturday, extending its current run to just one win in its last 10 matches across all competitions (D3, L6).

The recent head-to-head favors Middlesbrough, which secured a 1-0 victory at Hillsborough in the reverse fixture on Oct. 22, 2025. Sheffield Wednesday’s form has been a persistent concern; its last victory came on March 10, a 1-1 draw with Watford, and it has failed to score in four of its last five matches.

Middlesbrough’s form has been more resilient, with only two losses in its last 10 league games (W3, D5). Its attack, which produced four goals against Queens Park Rangers earlier this month, will be confident against a Wednesday defense that has conceded multiple goals in six of its last 10 contests.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Röhl faces a significant challenge to ignite his side’s attack, which has managed only five goals during its 10-game slump. In contrast, Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick will aim to build momentum for a late playoff push, with his team currently positioned in the table’s top half.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is a 2-0 victory for Middlesbrough.

Following this match, Middlesbrough will host Watford next Saturday, while Sheffield Wednesday travels to face Oxford United the same day in continued Championship action.
