Sheffield Wednesday - Watford predictions

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.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect Watford to give their best effort in this match.

Things went from bad to worse for Sheffield Wednesday in the previous round of the Championship. Home fans hoped their team will be able to take at least something positive from the match but their team went behind during the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to get back in the game. Ultimately, it ended in a minimum deficit loss Coventry City.

The away team ended their previous Championship with a draw against what most considered a stronger opponent, and they did it on away grounds, too. The game was quite dull to watch but can be happy with the fact they avoided a loss.

With Watford_GOALS_CONCEDED goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Watford's backline has much to be wished for

have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Watford carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Sheffield Wednesday as somewhat more likely to win.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.98 at Pncl.
