Barnsley - Sheffield Wednesday betting tips and odds

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Barnsley are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Sheffield Wednesday and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.75.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for The Owls, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.50.

Barnsley played at Wycombe Wanderers in the previous round and absolutely dominated the entire match. An early lead turned into a complete fiasco for the opposition, exceeding even the most optimistic of predictions in a 1:3 win.

The result of The Owls’s previous home match against Huddersfield Town was a somewhat disappointing 1:1 draw. The result is not bad considering they were tagged as underdogs going in – but it’s a shame their first-half lead went to waste.

The Tykes have managed to bag 6 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Oakwell Stadium are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Sheffield Wednesday ’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with Barnsley taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.20 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
