Sheffield Wednesday vs Wolves — Tips & Analysis

Sheffield Wednesday +1: Hillsborough will be full, and Wednesday get this one on their terms. They have had 5 days since their last game, and Wolves have had only 3. Wednesday have also been better than their record looks. They have won 3, tied 4 and lost 8 of their last 15 games, but they have been making far more chances than they have taken lately. The trouble is the finishing. Wednesday score under a goal a game, and it is barely better than that at Hillsborough. Wolves are the stronger side and they are on a good run, unbeaten in five. They won 3-1 at Preston on Saturday and beat Port Vale 3-0 in the last round. They are not hard to score against though. Wolves let in more than a goal a game across their last 15, and they have lost by 2 or more goals four times in that run. Both sides are expected to change players, which narrows the gap again. A 1-2 Wolves win is the read, and that kind of tight night does this pick no harm. The worry is the other Wednesday. They have lost by 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 15, and a team that barely scores can fall away fast. We still want Wednesday to keep this close.
