Sheffield Wednesday - Preston North End betting tips and odds

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Sheffield Wednesday on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating The Owls is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Preston North End.

Sheffield W. were hoping they would be able to pull a surprise in their last Championship game. That was the impression after the first half at least when The Owls had it all level on a difficult outing. However, they were unable to fight the pressure off and ended up suffering a proper beating in the second half for a convincing Hull City away defeat.

The away team are coming on the back of a close 2:1 victory against Sunderland in the previous round. The two teams were comparable in terms of their form, which was quite clear after the inconclusive first half. The home-field advantage Preston North End had won out in the end, however, and they secured a 2:1 win in the end.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Owls have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.28, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
