Hull City - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Sheffield Wednesday will give Hull City a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.38 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Sheffield Wednesday is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

While Hull City’s previous loss will hurt their Championship standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Luton Town isn’t exactly devastating.

Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and having home-field advantage, Sheffield Wednesday tied with Cardiff City in their previous Championship match.

Though they’re playing with a home-field advantage this time around, Hull City ended two consecutive away games with fewer than 2 goals from either side.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Sheffield Wednesday is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Hull City narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Thimothee Lo-Tutala, Harvey Cartwright, Marvin Mehlem, Abu Kamara, Mohamed Elbachir Belloumi will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.86 odds offered by Pncl.
