Wigan v Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips

The Latics have won their last two games now in the Championship to revive their survival hopes. They start Friday night’s game in the drop zone in the second tier though still and could just climb out on goal difference with a win in this one. So momentum is highly important for them however and they will not be disappointed to have seen Sheffield Wednesday go off the boil. The Latics lost 2-1 at Hillsborough earlier in the season against the Owls but they have won two of their last three on home soil against the Owls. Each of the last three between these at Wigan have been settled by a 1-0 scoreline actually and a Wigan 1-0 correct score at Betfair is a price of 7/1 to back. Reversing it the other way around, which was the score in favour of the Owls the last time they were at Wigan which was in the 2014/15 Championship, is a quote of 11/2. Look for narrow margins basically.

It looks as if the goal line value is going to be on under 2.5 goals at Betfair for a quote of 4/7. Wigan have only gone W3 D3 L7 at home in the Championship this season and their win over Brentford in their last league match up snapped a six match losing streak there and it is their only win in their last eight on home turf. They have averaged well under a goal per game on home soil which is why they are in the mess they are in and only 38% of their games at home this season have over the 2.5 goal line. Both teams not to score in this Friday night fixture will fetch a price of 8/11 at Betfair for you. Will their current upturn in form see them to at least a point in his one, which would be precious because they have a game in hand or two in hand over everyone else in the relegation fight at the moment? Big game for the Latics.

Sheffield Wednesday have just slowed their momentum a little bit which has seen them drop out of the Play Off Zone in the Championship. They have gone W1 D3 L1 in their last five league games played, which was after winning five of their previous six. So just a little sticky patch for them and they have won just one of their last five away from Hillsborough as well. They have scored in each of their last seven away games so there doesn’t appear to be any problem there and to be honest, their defence really won’t come under pressure. Their last three away defeats have been against a side in the top six, but they have coped against those beneath them. In the anytime goalscorer market you have a quote of 13/8 on Fernando Forestieri and Sam Winnall as joint favourites. The Owls are carrying the head to head form with three league wins on the bounce against Wigan and need to grind something out to get back in the play off picture.

Wigan v Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

The lack of wins recently for the Owls casts a little shadow of doubt on this one. However out of the gate we are looking at a low scoring game to crop up with a fair degree of certainty. Wednesday have the superior fire power and organization in their ranks and Wigan haven’t beaten anyone of real note for a long time. Look for Wednesday to win it and they just value in the match outright market.
