Southampton had a most welcome win at QPR in midweek. That win moved them up to 19th in the Championship and now they are home to bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday. Can the Saints get a home win? Read our match prediction below.
Home form has been a big problem for the Saints all year. Last season saw them relegated from the Premier League and it's not gone well in the Championship this term. They have only won one of their six home league fixtures this season.
Just ten goals have been scored in those six games at St Mary's with under 2.5 goals scored in the last four.
It's been a nightmare season for Sheffield Wednesday. The club is in administration and under a transfer embargo. A 12 points deduction means they begin the weekend on -4 points, 17 away from safety.
Just one league game has been won by the Owls. They are unbeaten in their last two league games but both were drawn. After a goalless draw at West Brom last weekend, Wednesday drew 1-1 at home with struggling Norwich on Wednesday.
Three of their last four league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.
We tip that statistic to come up again this weekend.

Our Southampton vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
The midweek performances of these two clubs should boost their confidence. Southampton got a very welcome away win at QPR, while Wednesday earned their second successive draw. Saints must not cure their home blues if they want to continue to climb away from the bottom three.
Wednesday already look doomed to relegatiion after the 12 points deduction. Their main aim is to get stable management of the club. Both clubs struggle for goals and our Southampton v Sheffield Wednesday prediction is under 2.5 goals.
