West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Saturday, 01 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a bit of a stalemate at The Hawthorns, wasn't it? West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday played out a goalless draw, which, if we're honest, probably wasn't too surprising given their recent form. The Baggies have been struggling to find the net, with losses in three of their last five, while Wednesday have been on a bit of a losing streak themselves. Neither side managed to break the deadlock, but you've got to give credit to both defences for keeping things tight. A point each might not set the world alight, but it's a step in the right direction for Wednesday, who desperately needed to stop the rot.

As for West Brom, this result does little to change their mid-table position, but it's another game without a win, which must be frustrating for Carlos Corberan and his lads. They had the lion's share of possession and more chances, but just couldn't find that killer touch. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, will be buzzing to have ended their run of five straight defeats. It's a small victory for them, but a crucial one. Both teams will be looking to build on this, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to start climbing the table.

The stats from this match tell a story of dominance without reward for West Brom. With 61% possession and eight corners to Sheffield Wednesday's three, you'd think they'd have nicked a goal somewhere. But football's not always that simple, is it? Both teams had the same successful dribble percentage at 38%, showing they were evenly matched in that department. The yellow card count was level at one each, suggesting a fairly disciplined game from both sides. All in all, the stats suggest West Brom were the better side, but they just couldn't convert their dominance into goals.

Unfortunately, there weren't any standout key moments to report from this match. Both teams made substitutions, with West Brom using five and Sheffield Wednesday making three, but none of these changes seemed to shift the momentum of the game. It was a case of two teams cancelling each other out, with neither side able to create that moment of magic needed to break the deadlock. In the end, it was a game of few clear chances and even fewer moments to remember.

West Brom lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Josh Griffiths in goal and a back four of Alfie Gilchrist, Nat Phillips, Chris Mepham, and Callum Styles. In midfield, Ousmane Diakité and Alex Mowatt provided the base, with Samuel Iling-Junior, Isaac Jude Price, and Mikey Johnston supporting striker Josh Maja. No real surprises in the lineup, but the five substitutions made by Carlos Corberan suggest he was trying to shake things up. Despite their efforts, none of the players managed to make a significant impact on the game, which ended in a frustrating draw.

Sheffield Wednesday opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Ethan Horvath between the sticks and a back three of Liam Palmer, Dominic Iorfa, and Max Lowe. The midfield was manned by Sean Fusire, Yan Valery, Barry Bannan, and Harry Amass, with Svante Ingelsson and Jamal Lowe playing just behind striker Iké Ugbo. The three substitutions made by Danny Röhl didn't seem to change the course of the game, but it was a solid defensive performance from the Owls. Horvath, in particular, stood out with his goalkeeping, earning him the Ladbrokes' Man of the Match award.

Ethan Horvath is our Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and rightly so. The Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper was in fine form, making six saves and keeping a clean sheet against a West Brom side that had plenty of possession. He also contributed with one clearance and one punch, showing his all-around ability between the sticks. A top performance from Horvath, who was instrumental in securing a valuable point for the Owls.

The Baggies sit in 12th place with 18 points and will be looking to bounce back when they face Charlton Athletic, who are in 8th with 20 points, on November 04, 2025 at 19:45. This result might encourage them to be more adventurous in their approach, as they'll need to start turning draws into wins if they want to climb the table.

The Owls are rock bottom with -5 points but will take heart from this result as they prepare to face Norwich City, who are just one place above them with 8 points, on November 05, 2025 at 19:45. This draw could be the turning point they need, and they'll be hoping to build on it with a positive performance against the Canaries.
