Preston North End - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Kickoff starts at 13:30 on 29/12/2024 played @ Deepdale Stadium refereed by Sunny Sukhvir Gill

With 2.50 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Preston North End who should end up victorious in the end against Sheffield Wednesday.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against The Lilywhites on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

The 2.30 betting odds pointed at The Lilywhites as the most likely winners of their previous engagement – largely due to the advantage of playing at home. They delivered on those expectations, albeit with a 1-goal difference secured in the second half.

Sheffield W. are coming on the back of a draw from last round’s away game at Middlesbrough. The tie is a relatively strong outcome for them, though. Not only were they playing away, but they were also the clear underdogs and found themselves behind at halftime.

We suggest staying away from Over 2.5 Goals markets for this match. The previous 5 times we saw Preston play at Deepdale Stadium all concluded with two goals or less for both sides.

The Owls don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Preston being seen as the favourites.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Liam Palmer, Ben Hamer, Sean Fusire are the players that will be missing, which makes the The Owls lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
