Hull City vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

Sheffield Wednesday are aiming to continue their good start under Garry Monk when they head to Hull on Tuesday night. The Owls are fresh from a thumping 4-1 win at Middlesbrough, while they will be aiming to continue that momentum when they head to the KCOM. While Hull have made improvements in recent weeks, they still look vulnerable ahead of this clash.

The hosts are fresh from a 2-2 draw with Cardiff on Saturday, a result which has kept them clear of relegation danger. However, the Tigers have yet to match up to their lofty top-six ambitions. They’ve fallen seven points shy of the top six, while they are unlikely to bridge that gap this weekend. The hosts have won just once in their last seven Championship games, so they are vulnerable here.

Sheffield Wednesday are on the up, with seven points from three games under Garry Monk. The Owls are now on the verge of the playoffs, sitting in seventh. With just three points between them and first place, there’s plenty to be excited about for the visitors. Could they claim a midweek victory and jump into the Championship’s top six?

Hull are winless in four at home, having conceded twice or more in their last three here. The defence has been the let down for the hosts, who have been solid scoring of late. They’ve scored in 89% of their league games this season, with four of their last five matches seeing both teams score. The Tigers have seen both teams score in 80% of their home games this term, while it has landed in eight of their last 10 at the KCOM.

Sheffield Wednesday should take advantage, with seven goals in three league games under Monk. The visitors have scored in 89% of their games this season, while they’ve won three of their five away trips this term, including back to back victories on the road. Against bottom-half sides, Sheffield Wednesday have won five of six meetings, while Hull have lost three of their four clashes with sides above them, despite scoring four goals across those clashes.

We are backing that form to continue here. We’re backing another victory for the Owls, while we can see plenty of goals at the KCOM. Wednesday have conceded in four of their five away trips this term, so we’re backing Hull to score in a defeat here. We’re also backing a 2-1 away win, following Hull’s run of conceding goals at home.
