Sheffield Wednesday - Leeds United predictions

The game is heavily lopsided in the visitors’ favour – for instance, most bookies are offering 5.80 odds on a home win. The hosts are no doubt in a difficult situation and don’t have much hope of overcoming Leeds United.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by The Peacocks. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Championship but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

Sheffield Wednesday entered their previous league match with a price of 1.99 to win, so the 1:0 victory they eventually secured is hardly a glowing performance. They locked the 3 points, but their supporters at the Hillsborough Stadium expected a more convincing outcome.

The Peacocks are coming off from a 1:0 victory over Stoke City. This previous Championship match saw them as 1.34 betting odds to win which was enough to assume they would go on to record a comprehensive triumph. However, a one-goal win was not something fans will have been entirely happy with.

The home team for this match is on a bit of a trend – a boring one, at that. Their previous 2 Championship games ended with less than 2 goals.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against The Owls.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Championship. Leeds were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 1.60 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

The 2.06 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
