Sheffield Wednesday vs Charlton Predictions

• Sheffield Wednesday have kept back-to-back clean sheets ahead of this encounter.
• Wednesday’s two opening games were against fellow promotion favourites Portsmouth & MK Dons (W1, D1).
• Charlton failed to score in each of their last three visits to face Wednesday.

A happy Saturday for Wednesday

While the strong favourites for the League One title have already stumbled this term, their win and a draw against other sides that sat quite high in the pre-season picks for promotion represents a solid enough start to the 2022/23 campaign.

Another tough test awaits as Charlton come into town, though this is a side that they have beaten to nil in each of the last three meetings at this venue. Moreover, Wednesday are undefeated across their last ten League One home games, suggesting that the Hillsborough faithful can help roar their side on to victory.

With an identical start in terms of results, Charlton will no doubt fancy their chances of causing a shock, though a narrow win over a questionable Derby County outfit and two squandered leads against Accrington Stanley is far less impressive than the opposition faced by the hosts.

Finding value

While the price on a home win is nothing to write home about, we predict that it is simply the best play in this encounter. One could try and push the price a bit more in the win to nil or handicap markets, though we suggest just sticking with the Owls to soar to victory.

For smaller stakes, we suggest a straightforward 2-0 home win, which would be appropriate given that Wednesday won the last three home H2Hs by a combined scoreline of 6-0.
