Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 19 August 2023.
Sheffield Wednesday are set to host Preston at Hillsborough for their upcoming league fixture. Sheffield Wednesday enter the contest following a string of mixed performances. They sit 22nd in the table after a 4-2 defeat to Hull City in their previous league match.
Their opponent, Preston, too, comes into the game with a mixed bag of results. They remain eighth in the standings following a 2-1 win over Sunderland last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in January 2021. Sheffield Wednesday managed to deliver a 1-0 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Sheffield Wednesday has won four times, there have been two draws, and Preston has won four times.
We are counting on Sheffield Wednesday to pull off a win here. They had a fine home record. They have only lost one of their past 26 competitive home football matches, winning 20 of them.
Preston, on the other hand, has been struggling on the road for quite some time. They have also failed to win any of their last four away matches. Two of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We expect goals in this match. In two of Sheffield Wednesday’s last three matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, both of Preston’s past two matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, four of the last six h2h meetings between these two at this ground have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their past three matches. Have conceded eight goals in their past two matches. While the visitors also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three matches this season.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Sheffield Wednesday has a strong home record heading into the match. They’ve only lost one of their last 26 competitive home matches. They also have a solid recent record against Preston. Furthermore, Preston has a dismal away record going into the match.
A draw no bet option in favour of Sheffield Wednesday at 1.72 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.90 look to be very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
