Hull vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips and Predictions

3 points here would leave the Tigers in a really commanding position at the top of the league as we head into the final few months of the season. They have shown a level of consistency and ability to grind out narrow wins that no other side in this league has been able to match. Their 1-0 win in a tricky game at play-off chasing Ipswich on Tuesday was a fine example of that and they have won 8 of their 11 games so far in 2016 which includes a 0-0 draw at Arsenal in the FA Cup last weekend.

This will be another tough test of their promotion credentials against a Sheffield Wednesday side that are also enjoying an excellent campaign and look good for a top six finish. They suffered a setback in midweek though when they could only draw 1-1 at home to QPR but remain in 5th place and a win here could even propel them into the automatic promotion reckoning which was beyond the wildest dreams of most Owls fans at the start of the campaign.

Reason for Betting Tips

Hull have been exceptional at home this season. They’ve played 19 games at the KC Stadium in all competitions and have won 15 of them losing just once. They’ve kept clean sheets in 13 of those games including all of the last 5. They haven’t conceded a home goal since Nick Blackman scored for Reading on the 16th December and they’ve netted 14 times themselves since then.

Wednesday have also been very strong at home but their away record isn’t as strong and they’ve lost 7 of their last 11 games on the road. Therefore backing Hull to win at 3/4 looks a reliable bet here.
