Sheffield Wednesday vs Middlesbrough Predictions

Middlesbrough to add to Owls’ woes

Middlesbrough are the bet away at Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday. The hosts have not won at home in the Championship for six games and have lost four of their last five at Hillsborough.

Middlesbrough are second in the Championship, having won six of their ten games this season, while Sheffield Wednesday are propping up the table with just one win so far. They are 22 places and 15 points apart.

Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-1 to Charlton on Saturday in their last Championship outing and could not break their losing run. The result was no surprise, with Charlton priced at 4/6 to win the game.

Sheffield Wednesday have looked vulnerable at the back. No team has a worse defensive record in the Championship than Sheffield Wednesday this season, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 home games.

They are in a slump. They have won just one of their last ten Championship matches, with their last two games ending in defeat. They have also gone four games without recording a victory and have won just one of their last ten home games.

The home side’s struggles in front of goal are a concern. Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in four of their last five Championship games at home, netting just once in that time – an average of 0.20 goals per game.

Three of Middlesbrough’s last four Championship matches have ended with under 2.5 goals, and a 2-0 away win looks the best correct-score option.
