Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips

Both sides come in off the back of confidence boosting wins last weekend. Brentford were 2-1 winners at home to Preston while Wednesday picked up an entertaining 3-2 home win against Fulham. However it was only the 2nd league win of the season for both clubs and they are both still in the bottom half ahead of this game.

There have tended to be goals whenever these two clubs have been in action this season though although often than they’ve tended to be at the wrong end as far as their respective managers are concerned. Both clubs are in double figures for goals scored and conceded so far and both average over 2.5 goals per game in terms of total goals.

If there is one stat that should really convince to bet this weekend then perhaps it is that there have been 3 or more goals in all of Brentford’s last 13 Championship home games. The Griffin Park crowd usually get value for money and against what has been a much more attack-minded Sheffield Wednesday side this year you can certainly see there being over 2.5 goals again here, something you can back at 4/5.

Both teams will surely be on target at some point in the game but it’s hard to pick a winner here. Brentford are the slight favourites but haven’t really been that impressive this year and their 2 wins have come against the newly promoted clubs and they have conceded 12 goals in their 5 outings at home this year.

Wednesday rarely win on the road though and they haven’t picked up maximum points away from Hillsborough in the league for over 6 months when they won at neighbours Rotherham but they did pick up a shock win at Newcastle in the Capital One Cup in midweek.

There might be a bit of tiredness from that game though and therefore neither side really stands out as winners so consider backing this one to finish level at 2-2 at odds of 12/1.
