Sheffield Wednesday vs Fleetwood: Our top betting predictions

Sheffield Wednesday arrive into this game as heavy favourites. Will they prove the bookies right or can Fleetwood spring a shock? Find out with our Sheffield Wednesday vs Fleetwood match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

The Owls will win to nil

The obvious prediction for this game is backing Sheffield Wednesday to win. They have won six games on the spin compared to a run of form that has seen Fleetwood lose four games in a row whilst their positions in the League One table (2nd vs 17th) tells you everything about how their seasons are going. The trouble is, the odds on Wednesday to win are pretty drab. To spice that up, we're actually predicting the Owls to win to nil. Four matches of their six game winning run have seen them keep a clean sheet whilst Fleetwood have failed to score in each of their last two games.  The most recent of those games was in fact a clash between these two sides as well!

Don't bank on goals

Our next prediction for this game sees us backing under 2.5 goals in the total goals market. These two locked horns in their last League fixture where Sheffield Wednesday ran out 1-0 winners and another low scoring game is likely here. Each of Fleetwood's last two games have gone south of 2.5 with Wednesday only passing that marker twice in their last five outings. That also means that the last two clashes between these sides at Hillsborough have ended with fewer than three goals in them.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.

Sheffield Wednesday odds: 12/25 (1.48) – 68%

Draw odds: 10/3 (4.33) – 23%

Fleetwood odds: 11/2 (6.50) – 15%

It doesn't take a genius to workout that Fleetwood are big underdogs in this game and, in fact, even the idea of a replay is bordering on the bonkers with how heavily Sheffield Wednesday are fancied to win. One area where the odds aren't so heavily stacked is the total goals market, which we've delved into with our second tip above. The bookies have over 2.5 goals priced up as odds on with the under bet coming in at evens (2.00).

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Sheffield Wednesday vs Fleetwood

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday are motoring right now but their focus is very much on the league. Will that see them ring the changes to their XI with their giant killing moment already having come against Newcastle? We anticipate a few changes but not a complete overhaul.

Predicted lineup – Dawson, Palmer, Iorfa, Famewo, Hunt, Johnson, Bakinson, Dele-Bashiru, Windass, Smith, Patterson

Fleetwood

Fleetwood have nothing to lose in this game but they are firmly in a relegation battle in the league meaning they might not want to field a full strength XI. Despite that, their squad depth isn't enough for vast changes so, at most, expect a few tweaks from the lineup that lost to Sheffield Wednesday last time out.

Predicted lineup – Lynch, Andrew, Earl, Nsiala, Holgate, Warrington, Wiredu, Hayes, Vela, Muskwe, Garner

Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.

Player to watch

All eyes should be on Josh Windass during this game. The Sheffield Wednesday forward stole the show in the last round as he bagged both goals in their win over Newcastle. He also had six goal contributions in his last four games including an assist against Fleetwood last weekend.
