Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John | in Championship Prediction
Two of the most in-form teams in the Championship meet on Friday night as Sheffield Wednesday host Leeds United in what is an absolutely crucial game for both teams. Despite winning five of their last six games, including all their last four, Sheffield Wednesday remain 23rd in the Championship table. However, due to the incredibly tight nature of the division, they are just two points behind Plymouth Argyle who lie 16th in the table. Danny Rohl will be delighted at how well his team has got themselves back into contention after being bottom of the table and without a win after 12 games before the German took the helm. Defensively, they have tightened things up, conceding just three goals in their past six games and their sole defeat in that run came in a 2-0 away loss to Championship leaders Leicester City. They also have a good record over Leeds, winning 3 and drawing three, losing just one of the last seven between the two teams.
If the Friday Night Game (Kick off 8pm) is important for the Owls relegation battle, it is equally important for Leeds fight for promotion. Daniel Farke's team won their game with Stoke earlier in the week, a narrow 1-0 win which ensured they remained third in the table behind Leicester and Ipswich, who both also won. With just ten games of the season remaining for United, any slip up now could be crucial. They come into this game in superb form though with just one draw in their last ten games home and away, with all the other games victory. Defensively, they are the best team in the division, conceding just 28 goals in their 36 games so far. They are unbeaten at home, but have lost six times on the road, winning nine and drawing three. Three of those defeats coming in a tricky spell the club endured last December. Having conceded just 3 in their last 11 games, scoring 24, they should be confident of picking up another win here.
