Struggling Sheffield Wednesday face Plymouth Argyle at Hillsborough on Tuesday looking to build on a win in their last league outing.
After securing all three points with a 1-0 victory over Rotherham United on Saturday, the Owls sit 23rd in the Championship.
They travel to play a Plymouth side 16th in the standings, who lost in their last match, 2-0 against Ipswich Town.
With 29 goals in 35 games so far this season, Wednesday are the league's lowest scorers with 0.8 goals per game. And they are conceding more than average, letting in 53 goals at a rate of 1.5 per game.
Plymouth, meanwhile, are above average scorers, with 1.5 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.4. They have conceded 1.7 goals per game.
In Morgan Whittaker, Argyle have one of the league's sharpest shooters so far this season. He has notched 17 goals in 35 appearances, to sit second in the scoring charts.
His goal rate of one every 176 minutes is much quicker than that of Anthony Musaba, the Owls's top scorer with a goal every 388 minutes, and a total of five goals in 32 games.
In the last 10 years, Wednesday and Plymouth have played each other on seven occasions. Wednesday won two of them, Plymouth four, and they drew once.
On average, the Owls scored 0.9 goals and the Pilgrims 1.9 in those matches.
Their last meeting was on October 25, when Plymouth won 3-0 at home.
The home team are in reasonable form in the Championship, with four wins and two losses from their last six games.
With a win and a draw over that period, the Pilgrims' form is much worse – they have taken four points from 18, compared to Wednesday's 12.
