• Competition: Championship
• Date: 08.03.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET

A month ago, Sheffield Wednesday appeared to have no hope of maintaining their Championship status. Unexpectedly, they managed to secure 4 wins in their last 4 games, bringing them to the brink of the danger zone. Currently, 4 teams stand with 38 points each, making the battle for survival highly unpredictable. Besides Rotherham who is currently tied for the last place, two more teams will be relegated to League One next season.

Leeds secured a 3rd place position after a string of successful results, notably narrowing the gap to a mere 5 points behind leading Leicester, who have been struggling for the past few months. Currently in 2nd place is Ipswich. A battle for the top two spots, which would guarantee direct promotion to the Premier League, is expected among these three teams. In the last round, Leeds triumphed over Stoke in a home game.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

In five out of six recent matches of Sheffield Wednesday, the number of goals scored was two or less. Leeds scored a total of three goals in their last two matches.

Both teams are in a situation where they have strong motivations &— one is fighting for survival and the other for promotion.

On paper, Leeds is a strong favourite, however, the home team is in outstanding form and will definitely not give up without a fight. Their strategy is to maintain a solid defense and aim for a long period of clean play. This game could potentially have a low score.
