Sheffield Wednesday is set to face Werder Bremen in Austria on Friday afternoon in their second-to-last pre-season friendly. The Owls have had mixed results in their pre-season games so far, with wins against Alfreton Town and losses to Brighton and Red Bull Salzburg.
Manager Danny Rohl has taken the team to Germany and Austria for their pre-season preparations. Sheffield Wednesday finished 20th in the Championship last season, while Werder Bremen ended 9th in the Bundesliga. The Owls have made nine new signings this summer, including Ben Hamer and Max Lowe.
Fans can watch the game against Werder Bremen on the German club’s official YouTube channel for free. The match will also be available on Sky Sports Bundesliga, with kick-off at 1pm UK time.
In their previous game against Salzburg, Sheffield Wednesday fielded a strong lineup that could be similar to the one starting against Plymouth Argyle in the Championship opener next month. Players like Beadle, Bannan, and Windass are expected to feature, with new signing Di’Shon Bernard likely to play a part as well.
Manager Rohl is likely to make several changes during the game to give playing time to all the players before the start of the new season. Sheffield Wednesday fans will be hoping for a good performance against Werder Bremen as the team continues their preparations for the upcoming campaign.
