Southampton vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

Saints Backed to Bounce Back Against Struggling Owls

Managerless Southampton are the best bet to beat Sheffield Wednesday at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have not been great going forward this season and Southampton can take advantage.

They are 19th in the table, five places and 19 points above rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday, who have won just once in 14 games.

Sheffield Wednesday have been struggling for results lately, failing to win nine of their last ten Championship games. They have not tasted victory in any of their last three away games.

Southampton are going through a barren spell in front of goal, resulting in Will Still’s sacking last week, but no Championship team has failed to find the net in more games this season than Sheffield Wednesday’s total of six.

The Sheffield Wednesday back line has been struggling this season. No team has shipped more goals in the Championship than the 26 goals they have conceded, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 league games.

There have been under 2.5 goals in three of Sheffield Wednesday’s last four Championship games, and a 2-0 home win for Southampton looks the best correct-score bet.
