[(Sheffield Wed) Strength]:

2. Sheffield Wed lost only 1 of the last 5 games in AH with stable performances. They ended all the last 4 games with OVER.
[(Sheffield Wed) Weakness]:
1. Sheffield Wed have had a terrible start to the EFL Championship season, picking up only 1 point so far. The team are currently facing financial issues and have also made changes such as a managerial sacking. The atmosphere within the squad is not good at the moment. Facing Premier League side Leeds United in this game, Sheffield Wed face great difficulty in winning, and their overall motivation for the game is mediocre.
2. Sheffield Wed are facing significant injury problems. Key defender Nathaniel Chalobah is out with a hamstring injury, while another defender Di'Shon Bernard is also unavailable due to a knee issue. In attack, Bruno Fernandes is out injured, and these absences are set to have a certain impact on the team's performance at both ends of the pitch.

[(Leeds United) Strength]:
1. As a Premier League side, Leeds United suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat to Arsenal in their last league game. Travelling to the EFL Championship team Sheffield Wed, Leeds United are highly motivated, aiming for a convincing win to respond to their previous heavy loss and build up confidence for the upcoming league games.
2. Leeds United strengthened their squad significantly during the off-season, signing a number of top attacking players, including dynamic forwards such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor. These excellent signings have enabled them to field a rotation lineup with considerable strength in the cup competition, ensuring their competitiveness will not decline.
3. Leeds United achieved 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 visits to Sheffield Wed, being at an advantage. They won all the last 3 encounters heavily and kept clean sheets, being at a mental advantage.
[(Leeds United) Weakness]:
1. Leeds United are missing defending midfielder Ethan Ampadu for this game, and new signing centre forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also unavailable.
2. Leeds United's away performance requires caution. They suffered a heavy defeat on the road in the first round of the Premier League, and even in the EFL Championship last season, their away record only ranked third, with a win rate of less than 50%.
3. Leeds United have scored only 3 goals in their last 5 games dating back to the pre-season friendlies, with an average of less than 1 goal per game, showing a lack of attacking ability.
4. Leeds United have performed poorly in cup competitions over the past few seasons. In the first round of the EFL Cup last season, they were eliminated by Middlesbrough, and later in the FA Cup, they only reached the second round. The team showed insufficient ambition in pursuing results in cup tournaments.
5. Leeds United lost 3 of the last 4 games in AH with mediocre performances. They lost 6 of the last 8 away games in AH.
[Tips]:
