Newcastle to Win and Lead at Half Time
While both teams are doing well this season in their respective leagues, Newcastle is currently two leagues above Sheff Wednesday since they are in League One at the moment, although on a good path to earn promotion.
With that in mind and given that Newcastle has been in amazing form this season, we don't see the guests slipping in this game. In fact, we expect them to win and to do it after also leading at half time.
Under 2.5 Goals
Three of the last four head to head duels between Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle have gone under 2.5 total goals and we expect to see the same thing on Saturday too.
After all, Newcastle has been great on the defensive end this season in Premier League and with them having a much better team than Sheff Wed, it is likely that the home team won't be able to score here.

While the guests are clearly the favourites to win this game, we can see it being an interesting one. Here's a closer look at both teams now:
Sheff Wed
Thirteen games have gone in League One since Sheff Wed lost their last match and thanks to this amazing streak, the team is currently sitting in the second place in the standings, four points behind Plymouth. In any case, the team is looking good at the moment and they are one of the main candidates to get the promotion to Championship.
Meanwhile, Barry Bannan is currently on the sidelines with an injury, but the rest of the team is in good shape right now.

Dawson – Palmer, McGuinness, James – Mighten, Byers, Vaulks, Dele-Bashiru, Johnson – Windass, Smith
Newcastle
It's been a great season for Newcastle so far as they are currently in the third spot in the Premier League. The team has done amazingly even though they haven't really spend as much as everyone expected in summer. In any case, Newcastle is third and on a good path to secure a place in Champions League next season.
When it comes to team news, it's hard to know which players will get rested in this game, while Emil Krafth, Matt Targett and Paul Dummett, Jamal Lewis, and Javi Manquillo are out with injuries.

Starting Lineups
You can see the lineups here once the teams release them, usually an hour before kickoff.
Player to Watch: Alexander Isaac
The latest addition to the Newcastle squad didn’t get a lot of changes to play, but in those few opportunities that he got, he showed that he can truly be a key player for the team. After all, Isaac did score two goals in just three Premier League matches so far.
Meanwhile, the Swedish striker is likely going to start against Sheff Wednesday and with that in mind, we can see him being the player to watch in this match.
