Sheffield Wednesday vs Burnley Betting Tips

Burnley are in good form though so this could be a really competitive game. The Clarets have scored 13 goals in their last 3 Championship outings, winning all of them which is especially impressive when you consider two of the games were away and the other was at home to a strong Derby side. They also pushed Arsenal pretty close in the FA Cup at the weekend ultimately falling to a 2-1 defeat despite a Sam Vokes goal.

Wednesday also exited the competition in rather more surprising fashion as they conceded twice in the closing minutes to lose 3-2 at Shrewsbury. It could prove a blessing in disguise though for both clubs as they look to further their promotion prospects and like Burnley, Sheffield Wednesday are in excellent form.

They’ve taken 10 points from their last 4 league games and will move back in to the top six with a win here. At home they’ve been particularly strong and they’ve won all of their last 5 matches at Hillsborough and have only suffered 1 defeat in 18 outings at the ground this season.

For that reason you have to look at the Owls as the more likely winners here and they look a safe bet at 8/11 in the ‘draw no bet’ market given that outstanding home record.

10th placed Brentford are the highest ranked side that Burnley have won away at in the league so this is likely to be a really tough examination of their credentials. Wednesday have scored twice or more in all of their last 5 home games so consider backing a 2-1 win here for the Owls at 9/1 and a 6th straight home win overall.
