Middlesbrough - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Middlesbrough might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Sheffield Wednesday are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

Sheffield Wednesday appear severely unprepared for a clash with The Boro, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.50 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Middlesbrough returned home from their previous Championship trip with a huge point in the bag. They went behind after the first 45 minutes but pulled no punches after the break to earn a much deserved – and completely surprising - Southampton draw.

The Owls dropped a half-time lead in their latest home game against Swansea City. The single point was more than welcome, though, considering their opponents were expected to win despite playing as visitors.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

Middlesbrough may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat The Owls this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

This Monday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 2.05 odds.
