Sheffield Wednesday - Oxford United predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Sheffield Wednesday and the 5.50 odds given to Oxford United to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

While The Owls’s previous round ended in a 2:2 draw, they have a lot to be proud of. They grabbed an early lead at Blackburn Rovers and kept it until the 45-minute mark, which is not bad considering their opposition and the fact that it was an away game.

In the previous round of Championship, Oxford United welcomed Queens Park Rangers at their home stadium – and it didn’t end well for them. They were behind at half-time, and things only got worse from there, resulting in a 1:3 home loss.

Recording more than 5 goals over their past 3 visiting matches, Sheffield Wednesday are on a roll when it comes to goalscoring. They should do even better on their home turf.

A quick look at the away team’s recent track record reveals that they haven’t let a single of their most recent 7 matches go by without scoring at least once. Statistically speaking, they’re likely to continue this streak.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Sheffield Wednesday are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.03 odds offered at Pncl.
