Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Sheffield Wednesday will be eager to make their home advantage count on Monday afternoon when they entertain Wolves at Hillsborough as the hosts look to hang onto their existing position in the play-off pack.
Wednesday are currently enjoying a useful four-match run without defeat in the Championship following recent wins against Barnsley and Rotherham United in addition to a very welcome and perhaps unexpected three points in a 1-0 win away at Newcastle United. The Owls come off a 1-1 draw away at Preston North End on New Years Eve into this clash.
Sheffield Wednesday also possess a strong record at Hillsborough with stats of 8-0-3 16/11 which includes having won their last three on home turf on the trot with victories over Preston North End, Barnsley and Rotherham United.
Visitors Wolves succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at home to QPR on New Years Eve as they were dealt a sucker-punch following recent back-to-back wins against Nottingham Forest and Bristol City, and a home match against floundering QPR was supposed to have delivered all three points for Wolves!
However, the Championship continues to throw up all sorts of anomalies during the course of any given season, and so we look at Wolves’ away form for this encounter to give us any sort of clue as to what the outcome may be for this encounter.
Typically, Wolves possess an inconsistent away record that stands at 4-4-4 15/12, so anything could happen in the blue half of Sheffield here today, but the hosts seem to be in better shape to take the points.
