Sheffield Wednesday - Swansea City betting tips and odds

Sheffield Wednesday are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Championship, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.00, it’s not very likely to happen.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Swansea City should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.10, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

The Owls left a strong impression in their previous home game against Wycombe Wanderers . The 2:0 victory itself may have been predictable, but the overwhelming success which they achieved is nothing to scoff at.

The Swans’s previous Championship match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Norwich City, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. Swansea then proceeded to decisively win the match 2:0.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Hillsborough Stadium this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

Despite being favourites, Swansea City couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Sheffield W.. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.30 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 888Sport.
