Cheltenham vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the English League One on Wednesday, 29 March 2023.
After staying atop the table for quite some time, Sheffield Wednesday are finally feeling the heat. They dropped some valuable points lately, and now their entry into the Championship seems complicated.
And Cheltenham will be trying to take advantage of the struggles of their counterparts. They are trying to build a cushion of points over the relegation cut-off.
The reverse fixture ended in a 3-0 win for Sheffield Wednesday. In fact, they have a 100% winning record this past decade, barring a single draw. They also scored nine goals from the past three meetings.
Sheffield Wednesday might be trailing two points below the toppers as of now, but do note that they have a game in hand. Should they secure a victory this Wednesday, they could climb back to the top.
It helps their cause that they have a superior h2h record against this rival, who are trying to not get relegated at the moment.
It looks like we will have a tough, closely-contested fixture in our hands. But Sheffield Wednesday should manage to emerge victorious.
Cheltenham scored three or more goals in their last two games, while Sheffield Wednesday scored two or more goals in 100% of h2h meetings so far in the past decade.
As these two lock horns at the Whaddon Road, chances are high for goals to come in huge numbers.
As mentioned before, Sheffield Wednesday do have the edge, but note their defense has not been hot lately. In fact, they let in five goals from their past two fixtures, and they also failed to keep a clean sheet in all but one h2h clash till now.
It appears that goals will come from either end of the pitch.
Sheffield Wednesday are desperately trying to get back to the top of the table. They have a game in hand, and if they manage to win this fixture, they could take back the first spot. And this is exactly what they will be gunning for.
With the season entering its final stretch, the team needs to make sure that all their hard work over the months does not go down the drain. They are going for a direct entry into the Championship, rather than taking the way of the playoffs.
It increases their confidence that they have a 100% winning record in h2h clashes so far, barring a single draw. They even won the reverse fixture 3-0.
On the other hand, hosts Cheltenham recorded just two league wins at home since the second week of November, and coupling that with their poor h2h record against this rival, chances are high for a Sheffield Wednesday win. And the odds for the same are placed at 1.75.
However, they are struggling with their defense at the moment. They let in five goals from their past two games, and most of all, they have a single clean sheet in h2h clashes over the past decade.
And with Cheltenham scoring three or more goals in their last two match-ups, a high-scoring affair is expected. The Over 2.5 Match Goals wager looks appealing at 2.25 odd.
