Sunderland - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Sunderland are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.20 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Sheffield Wednesday may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The 3.40 away win betting odds indicate that The Owls are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Sunderland’s supporters are hoping for a repeat of their previous outing. The travelling fans witnessed a decisive 0:2 victory against Cardiff City , who were considered favourites before kick-off and there is no doubt Sunderland will be quite confident heading into this game.

The visiting team won their previous Championship matchup 4:0 after maintaining a lead throughout the runtime. Their home supporters were likely glad to enjoy the HT/FT victory, but the favourable pre-match betting odds mean that the victory was quite expected.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Sunderland secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Thankfully, The Owls will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.91. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
