Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar in Championship Predictions
Championship leaders Leeds United face a tricky home game against Sheffield Wednesday in matchday 27 at Elland Road on Sunday. This match between the top-placed Whites and the 10th-placed Owls comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Leeds started this weekend with 53 points and a one-point lead over Burnley and Sheffield United. Wednesday has 37 points and four behind top-six places ahead of this weekend. Leeds won 1-0 in the FA Cup last Saturday, which came on the back of consecutive draws in the Championship.
They drew 3-3 away at Hull and 1-1 at home against Blackburn, which saw their lead cut down to just one point. That draw against Blackburn was the first match Leeds dropped points across ten home league games.
Wednesday lost to Coventry via penalties in the FA Cup last Saturday, while their league form is steady without being spectacular. Three wins and two draws from their last six league games make them a tough opponent though.
The record gets better on the road, where Wednesday has won three and drawn one of their last five away league matches, although losing the last one to Preston.
Leeds won the last two H2Hs by a 2-0 scoreline, including the reverse fixture in August, but this match promises to be more entertaining.

Our Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Consecutive draws saw Leeds United’s lead at the top of the Championship standings cut to just one point. They still are unbeaten in eight matches and will hope to extend that here. Yet, Sheffield Wednesday has shown improvements in recent times and could frustrate the hosts. It’s their scoring record that has seen Wednesday put up an impressive show in recent away games. Will that be a concern for Leeds? The home team could still push for a win, while this game looks set for high scoring. Our Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction is over 2.5.
