First Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston North End – Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 9/10
After suffering such a poor start to the season, Sheffield Wednesday have enjoyed a resurgence as of late. They have lost just one of their last five outings, picking up three wins to move into the top half of the table. Furthermore, they enter this game having picked up back-to-back victories for the first time this season, with both coming away from home. On the other hand, Preston have failed to pick up three points in their last eight games, with their last win coming against Coventry City on October 19th.
Second Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston North End – Both Teams To Score – No – 4/5
Preston enter this game as one of the lowest scorers in the Championship. They are currently averaging less than a goal a game in six of their 18 fixtures thus far. Meanwhile, whilst Sheffield Wednesday aren’t renowned for keeping clean sheets, they do have two in their last five. Furthermore, the last four meetings between the two have been settled by just a solitary goal. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the same happen here.
Third Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston North End – Under 2.5 Goals – 63/100
Sheffield Wednesday’s return to form in recent weeks has been largely due to the fact that they have shored up at the back. As a result, only one of their last five games has gone over 2.5 goals, that being the 2-1 win over Derby County last Sunday. Preston share an identical record in this market having picked up two 0-0 and two 1-1 draws in their last five outings. The only game which has produced three or more goals was their 3-1 defeat against Portsmouth on November 9th.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Danny Rohl has revitalised his team in recent weeks. Their only defeat in their last five came against city rivals Sheffield United, whilst away wins over Hull City and Derby County have seem them rise to 12th in the Championship. Although nobody at Hillsborough will be talking about it, the Owls are now just five points off the play-off places, a remarkable feat considering they won just one of their opening six fixtures. Preston have proven to be tough to beat this season, although wins are also at a premium. The Lilywhites have drawn seven of their last 10, including their last three. This has seen Paul Heckingbottom’s side settle in 18th, just three points above the relegation places.
Recent fixtures have all been low scoring, with the last four ending 1-0. Both teams have two wins each and last season’s two meetings were won by the away team.
