Our Three Predictions for Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City
- First Prediction: Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 21/25
- Second Prediction: Tom Cannon to score at any time – 29/10
- Third Prediction: Match to end in a draw – 49/20
First Prediction for Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City – Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 21/25
Although both teams are strong in attack and vulnerable in defence, they each have an average of less than two goals scored and conceded per match. Sheffield Wednesday have only scored more than three goals and conceded more than three goals in matches three times in the Championship, whilst Narcis Pelach’s Potters boast similar figures, scoring more than three goals twice and conceding more than three goals also twice only. While both teams are capable of scoring and conceding goals, they typically do not do so with remarkable frequency or flair. Therefore, this match is likely to be low-scoring and closely contested.
Second Prediction for Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City – Tom Cannon to score at any time – 29/10
Stoke’s top scorer, Tom Cannon, is the joint fifth-highest-scoring player in the Championship this season. The Leicester City loanee is the Potters’ out-and-out top scorer, having scored five more goals than any of his teammates so far this season. It’s no secret that the 21-year-old can score goals in the Championship and that he has scored some crucial goals this season. The Irishman has netted three in his last seven Championship matches and will look to add to his tally against the opponents for this clash.
Third Prediction for Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City – Match to end in a draw – 49/20
Although Wednesday’s recent form is much better than Stoke’s, Danny Rohl’s side aren’t the best in front of their home supporters at Hillsborough. Their away form, on the other hand, is one of the best in the Championship, as they have picked up 16 points in 10 away matches this season. Despite the seventh place and seven points between the two sides, the visitors for this clash have better home form than Wednesday. Out of the 11 matches played at Hillsborough this season, Rohl’s side have drawn four of them. In their last five, the only matches they have failed to win have both been at home, losing to Blackburn Rovers and drawing one a piece with Preston North End. On top of this, the Potters have drawn seven matches in the Championship this season. This is shaping up to be a close-knit encounter between two sides who want three points.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
The hosts have been in fine form recently, only losing once in their last five matches, as they see themselves sitting ninth, five points off the play-off places.
The visitors haven’t been in such good form recently, as they remain winless in seven. The Potters will be looking over their shoulder, as they sit five points off 22nd place Portsmouth, who occupy the last relegation spot at the time of the writing.
Since 2011, these sides have played each other 10 times in various competitions. The majority of these clashes have happened in the second tier, with Wednesday coming out on top twice, Stoke coming out on top three times, and the rest of the matches ending with honours even.
