Last season, Sheffield Wednesday had so many problems to avoid relegation. Many pundits expect Danny Rohl's team to be in the same situation in the 2024/25 season, as the team didn't change much this summer. Sheffield Wednesday had a great start of the season as they won the first two games (including the EFL Cup), but in the last round, the Owls suffered a hard 4-0 loss in Sunderland. The home side converted almost every goal-scoring opportunity, so Sheffield Wednesday didn't have any chance for points.
Leeds fans expected their team to return to the Premier League in the previous season. Still, after finishing third and missing promotion in the playoffs, Daniel Farke's team should be one of the best Championship teams in the 2024/25 season. The expectations are high, but the first three games were disappointing, as Leeds recorded two draws and one defeat in all competitions. Last weekend, Farke's team played 0-0 on the road against WBA.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds pick: Over 2.5 goals
All three Sheffield Wednesday matches in the new season were with three or more goals. On the other hand, there were three or more goals in two of three Leeds games. We should expect at least three goals in the upcoming game between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds.

Sheffield Wednesday team news
After a big 4-0 defeat in Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday's head coach Danny Rohl was expectedly disappointed. He said, "For me, it is clear, after the win against Plymouth, I was not in Disneyland and dreaming for more. I was in reality, and today I am in reality. What I want to do with my team looks good in the last days; today, we did not really come into the game and what we wanted to do."
Ben Hamer is injured and will not play against Leeds on Friday night.

Leeds team news
The expectations from Leeds are high, but they probably changed too many players, so they need new signings and time. According to the reports, the head coach, Daniel Farke, demands four new players until the summer transfer window ends. If nothing changes and Leeds continues to play poorly, Farke could soon lose his job.
Leeds currently doesn't have injury worries.
