Huddersfield Town vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 03/02/2024, 01:44  by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions

Two out-of-form sides meet in this Championship relegation battle. 21st placed Huddersfield Town host Sheffield Wednesday who are one from bottom in the table. Huddersfield begin this game one place and three points above the relegation zone. There's five points between them and their opponents so a win will improve their chances of beating the drop. They have no wins in their last five league games and have just one victory in their last 11. Their last three Championship fixtures have all ended in a 1-1 draw, the most recent being a stalemate at QPR who are also in the bottom three. They nearly won that game but conceded a 95th minute equalizer. Only one of their last eight home league matches has been won. Seven of their last 11 games have seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Sheffield Wednesday are the lowest scorers in the Championship with only 22 scored in 29 games. They are five points from safety and have an inferior goal difference. Only one point has been earned from their last three league fixtures and another loss here would see their chances of avoiding an immediate return to League One diminish further. Away league form has not been good at all this season with two wins, a draw and 11 defeats. Only seven goals have been scored on their league travels this season. Tuesday saw them involved in another low-scoring game as they drew 0-0 at home to Watford. Three of their last five away league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored. The reverse fixture ended 0-0 and we go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
