Sheffield Wednesday - Portsmouth predictions

Sheffield Wednesday should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Portsmouth can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Portsmouth appear severely unprepared for a clash with The Owls, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.53 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Sheffield Wednesday showcased an excellent ability to perform under pressure during their previous home game against Middlesbrough . They were losing against a considerably stronger opponent during half-time but managed to turn the game around and win by a 1-goal margin (2:1).

Championship betting odds favoured Portsmouth to win their previous match, with a price of 4.54 offered at most sportsbooks. Such odds turned out to be a decent prediction – playing as the home team, Portsmouth secured an early lead and stayed ahead for the remained of the game, ultimately recording a 1:0 victory.

Portsmouth’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Sheffield Wednesday already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 2.10 odds on a home win.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.67 with Pncl, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
