Sunderland - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Sunderland have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.66 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

The 2.84 away win betting odds indicate that Sheffield Wednesday 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 kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Championship clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw at halftime was off the table in the second half when a single goal prevented Sunderland from earning a point, however (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

The Owls are coming off from a decisive home victory against West Bromwich Albion. At odds of 2.90 on a home win, few expected such a result – though The Owls already established dominance in the first half.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from Sunderland on their home turf – specifically, 6 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

The Owls and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Championship matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

The last time these two teams met Sunderland managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.82. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
