Brighton vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips and Predictions

This is 4th against 6th but there is a big points differential between the two clubs. Brighton have their eyes on automatic promotion currently just 3 points outside the top two and 4 off the top. They are virtually certain now of at least a play-off place and hold a 9 point advantage on Wednesday who are trying to hold off competition from Birmingham and Cardiff for that final position.

Wednesday are not in the best of form and suffered a damaging 1-0 home defeat to local rivals and Championship strugglers Rotherham at the weekend. They’ve not won any of their last 4 league games picking up just 2 points and the AmEx is not the best place to go looking to end that run.

Brighton are going really well again and have won 6 of their last 9 games, losing just once. They drew 0-0 at Preston at the weekend but had won both their previous 2 matches 4-0 and are looking good at the back and dangerous going forward particularly at home where they’ve netted twice or more in all of their last 4 matches.

By contrast the goals have dried up for the Owls. They’ve netted just once in their last 4 games and have lost 6 of their last 12 away from home. Therefore consider backing Brighton to win 2-0 at 7/1.
