Sheffield Wednesday v Wolves Betting Preview – Championship 15th December 7.45pm

There is a good game in store on Friday night from the Championship as league leaders Wolves head to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday. Wolves are in fine form and have won six of their last seven league outings, while the Owls have just gone off the boil again with a failure to win any of their last five played in the Championship. Will Wolves grab the chance to pressure their challengers by taking three points?

Sheffield Wednesday v Wolves Betting Tips

The Owls are on a desperate hunt for some winning consistency in the Championship to give their season the kick start that it needs. They have only managed to go W6 D9 L6 across the course of the season and they have failed to win any of their last five (D4 L1). That having been said they haven’t lost any of their last five league games at home though, a run which goes back to the start of October so they are not getting picked off very much. The problem for them has been turning those draws into wins. That could hamper them in this game against a top side too. The Owls are W4 D5 L1 at home this season in the Championship and they scored well enough with an average of 1.7 goals per game and 60% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals. There has only been the two clean sheets on home soil though and are right out at a big 5/1 price to win to nil here. More realistic is the both teams to score option at William Hill for a price of 4/5. 67% of their home goals conceded this season have come in the first half of their matches.

Sheffield Wednesday do have a bit of form going against Wolves at the moment with a W2 D1 L1 in their last four against them, but they have struggled to beat them at Hillsborough. In their last six on home soil against Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday hold a W1 D2 L3 so they have struggled in this fixture. The Owls have also only scored in one of their last five home fixtures against the Midlands club as well and both teams have scored in just two of the last nine meetings between the two clubs. Gary Hooper is the top scorer for Sheffield Wednesday this season with a ten goal haul and he is up at 9/4 in the anytime goalscorer market. This is no easy home fixture for the Owls to try and snap their winless streak in and a 1-1 option in the William Hill correct score market comes in as 11/2 favourite while a 2-1 Wolves win is at 8/1. Wolves are carrying some form at the moment.

Wolves are bombing along at the top of the Championship table and have posted a fantastic W6 D1 record in their last seven played and right now they are the ones to catch. December is going to be all important for them in their title push. They have won their last three on the road and overall have gone W7 D1 L2 this season in the Championship away from Molineaux. Not only do they have the power going forward, they have been defensively tight as well with five clean sheets in their last seven league outings. They have earned a clean sheet in 60% of their road games so far this season which is impressive. Leo Bonatini has had a tremendous season in front of goal and goes as the 4/1 first goalscorer favourite to add to his 12 goals this term, while Jota has contributed well with nine. Wolves have only been losing at half time in one of their away games this season so a half time draw may have appeal.

Sheffield Wednesday v Wolves Predictions

Wednesday haven’t lost much recently and therefore they should offer up some kind of resistance. But that is likely to crumble under the weigh to the powerful Wolves who are just steaming along at the moment and the visitors can go and get themselves a win on the board.
