LiontipsSunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday. Championship match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Sunderland finished last season bottom of the table, which is not good for a team with ambitions of returning to the Premier League. The hosts are only six points clear of the relegation zone.
The new season started quite optimistically for the "black cats". In the first round of the Championship, the club managed to beat Cardiff City away with a score of 2:0. At the same time, participation in the English League Cup for the team has already ended - in the first round, Sunderland lost to Preston (0:2).
Injuries and disqualifications
Daniel Ballard, Niall Huggins and Jenson Sylt will all miss the upcoming match, all with knee injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
Sunderland have failed to win a single game in their last eight home games.
The hosts have conceded two goals in three of their last four matches
Estimated composition
Patterson - Hume, O'Nein, Alese, Sirkin - Brown, Neal, Roberts, Bellingham, Clark - Mayenda
Current form
Sheffield Wednesday have surprisingly topped the Championship table after their opening fixtures. The team has made a strong start to the season, beating modest Plymouth 4-0 at home. Not bad considering the Owls narrowly escaped relegation last season, finishing 20th.
The Sheffield club also did well in the English League Cup, beating Hull City in the first round (2:1).
Injuries and disqualifications
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer remains sidelined with a finger injury.
Interesting trends for betting
The team has won four titles in a row in the Championship
Sheffield Wednesday have scored at least two goals in their last five Championship games

2.22Tip and bets
Bookmakers have made the visitors underdogs in this match, but this is not entirely fair, because Sheffield Wednesday are on the rise. The team managed to win two victories at the start of the season, and Sunderland have not won at their stadium for a long time. We think that this allows us to consider betting on the success of the "owls" in this match.
Our prediction is Sheffield Wednesday not to lose at 1.70
Bet on total
The hosts are too unstable and alternate successful matches with disastrous ones. Quite often the ball simply does not go into the goal for Sunderland. This could well happen now. We believe that we should not expect a productive match here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.88
Bet on corners
The teams last met not so long ago - in the last round of last season. Then, with their combined efforts, they managed to collect 11 corners. It is unlikely that the opponents will improve their result today.
Our prediction is total under 11.5 corners with odds of 1.50
