Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
12th placed Sheffield Wednesday host Preston North End on Saturday. The visitors are struggling at 18th in the Championship and have drawn nine of their league games this season. Can the Owls get a home win? Read our match prediction.
Wednesday are only five points behind the final promotion play-off position and unbeaten in their last three league games. The last two league fixtures have both been wins with away victories at Derby and Hull.
Three home league games have been won but the same number drawn and lost. Only one of their last five home league fixtures has been won with the most recent being a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City. Six of the last eight at home have had under 2.5 goals scored.
The Lilywhites are only three points above the relegation zone but would be higher but for drawing nine of their 18 league fixtures. Each of their last three league games has ended level, . They have now gone nine league matches without a win and are still waiting for their first away league victory. Of their eight games, four have been drawn and the others lost.
Four of their last five league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them and we go for that stat to come up again this weekend.
