Sheffield Wednesday vs Hull City: Predictions, Lineups & Odds (05/04)

Hull City need to find a result in their Yorkshire Derby against a Sheffield Wednesday that has yet more off-field troubles in the Championship.

Our Three Predictions For Sheffield Wednesday vs Hull City

- - - Prediction 1 – Both Teams To Score – 87/100

- - - Prediction 2 – Joao Pedro To Score – 7/2

- - - Prediction 3 – Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 20/21

First Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Hull City – Both Teams To Score – 87/100

Across recent matches both sides have averaged over a goal a game, with Wednesday scoring seven, albeit with those spread across three results. Danny Rohl’s side easily bested a hapless Plymouth Argyle and got themselves over the line against Norwich City, with young winger Djeidi Gassama being the only player to score in both fixtures. Hull have got six in their last five games, and likewise found a comfortable win against Plymouth. With striker Joao Pedro back from suspension, Ruben Selles’ side have their main man and can now step up a gear in front of the goal.

Second Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Hull City – Joao Pedro To Score – 7/2

The Italian will finally make his return following his reckless actions that saw him sent off against Bristol City after just 14 minutes. That game against The Robins saw him break a 10-game scoreless run and with an extended break, he should be well rested. With Abu Kamara stepping up in recent weeks to spearhead the side, the pair of Hull attackers should be able to bounce off of each other and cause issues. Sheffield Wednesday are missing key figures in defence like Di’Shon Bernard, Max Lowe and Yan Valery. They gave up 14 shots against Cardiff City in their last game and The Tigers will hope to match that at Hillsborough.

Third Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Hull City – Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 20/21

Danny Rohl has seen his side thrive despite circumstances and The Owls are facing that task once more. Despite tough results against Steel City rivals Sheffield United and Cardiff City, the attacking talent of Josh Windass and Callum Patterson can be very potent. Windass and striker Michael Smith were the ones to topple Hull in the reverse fixture and with the fans likely to bring a charged atmosphere for their players at Hillsborough this weekend, they should be able to thrive in those conditions and secure a win against a City team that are really under pressure following Derby County‘s positive result in midweek.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Sheffield Wednesday have been the big story of the week in the Championship, but because of off-field issues. Staff at the club were not paid, repeating a very similar situation earlier on in the season, and the discontent towards owner Dejphon Chansiri has been amplified once more in Sheffield. On the pitch, they remain within reaching distance of the playoffs and enter the weekend five points behind West Bromwich Albion. In recent results, They have beaten Norwich City and Plymouth Argyle in their last five games, lost to Sunderland and derby rivals Sheffield United and draw to Cardiff City in their last match. Michael Ihiekwe scored in the second half in South Wales to level the game and secure a point on a day when many of their play-off rivals dropped points.

Hull City are now in a very tricky spot as they now sit one point above the Championship drop zone following a crucial win for John Eustace’s Derby County over Preston North End. They have fared better than their hosts this weekend across their last five, with two wins over Plymouth and Oxford United, draws with Bristol City and West Brom but stumbled in their most recent game against Luton Town, with an own goal for Alfie Jones splitting the two sides in East Yorkshire. They come into this game with an attacking boost in the form of the return of Joao Pedro after his suspension finally lifted after three games on the sidelines.

Sheffield Wednesday were the winners in the last match between the sides, with Josh Windass and Michael Smith scoring one in each half to secure three points and their third straight win over Hull. This will be the third game between the sides this season, with Wednesday also winning in the EFL Cup first round. Since 2012, Hull have a slight edge on their opponents with six wins to The Owls’ five and five draws.
