Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds prediction and betting tips on March 8, 2024
One of the matches of the 37th round of the Championship will be played on Friday at Hillsborough, where the local Sheffield Wednesday will host Leeds. Will the "owls" manage to secure points against the in-form opponent on their home turf? We present a prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Sheffield Wednesday
Under the guidance of Dani Röhl, it may seem that the team has little chance of retaining their place in the Championship, yet recent results speak otherwise for the "owls." Midweek, Sheffield Wednesday narrowly defeated Plymouth at home (1:0), marking their fourth consecutive victory under Dani Röhl's tutelage. It's noteworthy that during this stretch, the "owls" faced teams either in the relegation zone or in the lower echelons of the league table. In 36 matches, Sheffield Wednesday has amassed 38 points and currently finds themselves in the relegation zone solely due to their inferior goal difference.
Leeds
The "peacocks" are contending for promotion to the elite English division and currently occupy the third position in the Championship table. Earlier in the week, Leeds hosted Stoke City, and thanks to James' precise strike in the 33rd minute, they secured a 1:0 victory. Had it not been for the dropped points in the previous round against Huddersfield, the "whites" would have been in second place. That match also halted Leeds' winning streak, which stood at 10 matches. On the road, Daniel Farke's side has clinched victory in 9 out of 18 matches, suffering defeat on six occasions.
