Sheffield Wednesday vs Reading Predictions

• Sheffield Wednesday have drawn four of their seven home games this season including their last two, which have both finished goalless.
• The hosts have drawn three of their last four (L1), while Reading have won just one of their last six and one of their last five outings on the road.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 12 of Sheffield Wednesday’s 14 league games this term.

Wednesday Tough to Beat Under Pulis

Neither Sheffield Wednesday or Reading hold compelling claims for their clash at Hillsborough on Wednesday night and the spoils could well be shared in South Yorkshire.

Wednesday are enduring a desperate campaign despite their initial 12-point deduction being halved and they go into this week’s fixture still entrenched in the bottom three with just eight points on the board.

Nonetheless, the arrival of new boss Tony Pulis has brought some hope for Owls fans, and while they won’t be expecting to witness attractive and entertaining football from their television screens, they can be sure that the former Stoke manager will make them incredibly difficult to beat.

That’s been the case in their last two outings which have both finished 0-0 and we’re envisaging a similar plot playing out at Hillsborough on Wednesday, where the hosts have drawn four times already this term.

While Reading ended a five match winless run at home to Bristol City on Saturday (3-1), the Royals still can’t be trusted for the time being after such a woeful slump in form, so a point apiece appeals as the most likely result here.

With 12 of Wednesday’s 14 games producing under 2.5 goals, we’re unlikely to see much by the way of attacking intent and for that reason another goalless draw for the Owls merits a small stake at decent odds.
