Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

 by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Prediction

These two clubs had contrasting 2022-23 seasons with Sheffield Wednesday promoted and Southampton relegated. They have one thing in common though as both changed their coaches during the summer. Sheffield Wednesday begin life back in the Championship with Xisco Munoz now in charge. For the Saints, it's a season trying to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt with Russell Martin now in charge. Both clubs will want to make a good start to the new Championship season and impress their new bosses.

Sheffield Wednesday - Southampton: Form Analysis

Southampton had a disastrous 2022-23 season with only six wins in the Premier League. The main concern since their relegation has been an exodus of their top players. That hasn't quite happened yet but it may be a different story by the time the transfer window closes. Pre-season didn't go too well for Southampton but they played some good opponents. Benfica, Bournemouth and AZ all beat them but the Saints did win 4-2 at Reading. Their new boss knows there is work to do but there have been some good signings with Charles and Manning in particular looking lively new recruits. Players such as Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Armstong, Alcaraz, Tella and Adams are still at the club. While they remain at the club the Saints will definitely be promotion candidates.

Sheffield Wednesday somehow won the League One play-offs last season. Not bad after losing a semi-final first leg 4-0 at Peterborough United. Soon after their win at Wembley, coach Darren Moore left the club. Former Watford boss Xisco Munoz is now in charge. He has a real job on his hands to ensure that the Owls don't go straight back to League One. Top signing so far has been Chilean international Juan Delgado but they don't look anywhere near as strong as their opponents. The two sides met last year in the Carabao Cup with the Saints (who reached the last four) winning on penalties. Before that Wednesday had lost three in a row to Southampton and failing to score in any of the matches.

Sheffield Wednesday & Southampton Squad Analysis

Josh Windass scored 12 goals in League One for Sheffield Wednesday last season and is expected to start on Friday. A league debut may be given to new signing Juan Delgado. Other new signings who might line-up for the home side include Di'Shon Bernard and Pol Valentin.

Southampton haven't seen many departures, well so far anyway. They might not have expected to have James Ward-Prowse and Romeo Lavia with them for the start of the season. They may well depart by the time the transfer window closes. New signing Shea Charles is likely to start at the back with Jack Stephens also in that department.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton Prediction

Southampton will hope their stay in the Championship will be a brief one. It's likely that they will lose some of their top players before the transfer window closes. That hasn't happened so far and their new coach has made some good signings so far. While it was expected that the Saints would begin the new season with another new coach, a change at the top wasn't anticipated for Wednesday. Southampton have a stronger squad and our main  Sheffield Wednesday v Southampton  prediction is for Southampton to get the win.

Southampton wins the match

Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton - Other Interesting Predictions

Draw No Bet

It's early days and time to be a little cautious with our bets. It's our belief that Southampton won't lose this game. They just look too strong but Wednesday will want to get off to a good start in front of their home fans. A draw no bet wager on Southampton looks a good bet to place.

Under 2.5 goals

Sheffield Wednesday have been struggling for goals in their friends. A low-scoring game could be on the cards so we go for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
