Sheffield Wednesday vs QPR Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 14/09/2024, 01:23  by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions

Sheffield Wednesday haven't been able to sustain their bright start to the season, dropping to 20th place in the Championship after four matches. The Owls face Queens Park Rangers in their next match, with bookies’ predictions favoring the Hoops.

After opening their season with a 4-0 win against Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday went into a slump. While they won two League Cup matches after that, it is their league form that has been a major concern.

The hosts come into this game without a win in their last three Championship matches, all having ended in defeat. They conceded a total of nine goals in the three defeats and failed to score a goal. The latest of them ended 3-0 at Millwall as Danny Rohl’s side capitulated in the second half.

While their hosts are struggling, QPR have grown from strength to strength after their opening day 3-1 loss to West Bromwich Albion. In the five matches across all competitions that followed that loss, QPR are unbeaten.

However, there’s still an area that Marti Cifuentes will want to work on – the defence. The visitors are yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Even when dominating their matches, QPR have always been in danger of conceding.

In their most recent match, they had to rise past Jimmy Dunne’s own goal to beat newly relegated Luton Town 2-1. That was a big test, meeting Luton for the season straight game, having eliminated them from the League Cup earlier.

A result of their form in attack and struggles in defence is that four of their six matches have had over 2.5 goals.
