Sheffield Wednesday - Middlesbrough predictions

Sheffield Wednesday are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 5.04, no punter will dare backing them up against Middlesbrough. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

We are likely going to see The Boro triumph this Wednesday, though The Owls do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

The Owls returned home from their latest Championship trip without anything in their bag. However, knowing they were the huge underdogs anyway, a narrow Charlton Athletic HT/FT defeat is not to be considered too devastating for their confidence heading into the Wednesday clash.

The Boro played as the home team in their most recent matchup and secured a narrow victory. Pre-match Championship betting odds implied that they were more or less evenly matched with Ipswich Town despite the home-field advantage, but the HT/FT outcome proved them to be the stronger team.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 1.69 odds are worth it in terms of value.
