Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Early season Championship leaders Sheffield Wednesday travel north to face Sunderland on Sunday. A match between two teams many people feel could be in with at least a chance of the playoffs. Can the home team Black Cats claw their way to the win, or will the Owls continue flying high at the top of the table? Let’s check out our prediction for this exciting game!
Sunderland started their Championship season brightly last weekend, earning a 2-0 win over Cardiff City in Wales. Luke O’Nien and Jack Clarke scored the goals in a game in which the home side dominated in terms of possession. However, Sunderland were the more clinical in front of goal.
It was a key win for Sunderland, who had won just one of their previous six Championship games at the end of last season. However, a much-changed Black Cats side was beaten 2-0 by Preston in the Carabao Cup rirst round in midweek.
Sheffield Wednesday finished the season strongly to avoid relegation to League One and under Danny Rohl, they have continued that good form into the new campaign. The Owls thrashed Plymouth Argyle 4-0 on the opening day to sit atop the table after the first week of the season.
They followed that up with a fine 2-1 win away to Hull City in the Carabao Cup First round in midweek, with Charlie McNeill scoring twice inside the opening ten minutes. That despite the manager resting several first-choice players for that game.

Our Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for Sunderland vs. Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship is: Sheffield Wednesday to win.
A good win away at Cardiff last week was followed by a loss to Preston in the Carabao Cup first round in midweek. The Black Cats haven't played at home yet but their recent form at the Stadium of Light is poor. In contrast, the Owls are in great form under Danny Rohl and the data suggests they could pick up a vital three points here.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
