The EFL Championship returns with another round of fixtures this week as AFC Bournemouth take on Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium on Tuesday. Bournemouth have been in good form this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.Sheffield Wednesday are currently rooted to the bottom of the EFL Championship table and have plenty of work to do to avoid facing a dire relegation battle towards the business end of the season. The Sheffield-based outfit slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat against fellow strugglers Wycombe Wanderers over the weekend and will have to dig themselves out of a very concerning hole this month.Bournemouth, on the other hand, have shown plenty of promise this season but will need to improve in the final third to secure promotion at the end of what is set to be a gruelling campaign. The away side was held to a 1-1 draw by Derby County in its previous game and needs to pick up a victory this week.🧱 𝗥 𝗢 𝗖 𝗞 𝗦 𝗢 𝗟 𝗜 𝗗 🧱 This brilliant block from @SteveCook28 is our @HendyGroup 𝕄𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 🤩 A captain's performance 👏👏 pic.twitter.com/ZofL14F7ft— AFC Bournemouth 🍒 (@afcbournemouth) November 1, 2020Sheffield Wednesday vs AFC Bournemouth Head-to-HeadSheffield Wednesday and AFC Bournemouth are on a fairly even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned.
