Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham Betting Tips

These two sides are level on points and are separated by only one place, with both clubs just outside the play-off places and both performing above expectations. Their seasons have almost been a mirror of each other. Both sides had been going well but the pair had hit a bit of a sticky patch and approached their most recent games without a win in 5.

However both emerged victorious from them with Birmingham beating Cardiff 1-0 at St Andrews, while Wednesday were victorious against West Midlands opposition as they crushed Wolves 4-1 to end their barren spell.

One thing that is different and makes this game an intriguing contest is that Sheffield Wednesday are very strong at home while Birmingham have fared much better away from home. The Blues have won 6 times on the road already this season and have only failed to score in 2 of their 11 away games. Wednesday meanwhile have only lost 1 of their 14 home matches, winning 9 of them although both teams have scored in over half of their matches at Hillsborough.

Both teams should come into this with a bit of confidence having ended their winless runs and they’ll have reason to fancy it so we should see a reasonably open contest and backing both teams to find the net at Evens looks to have some value to it.

Of the two, Sheffield Wednesday are probably a bit more capable of maintaining their current position and with a big home crowd behind them, they should enough to nick this and you can back them to win 2-1 at 8/1.
