Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Sheffield Wednesday’s last five
• The Owls have recorded 1.1 xG or better in their last six league games
• Leeds have scored 2.3 goals per game at home

Owls can give Leeds a scare

Two Yorkshire rivals clash in Sunday’s sole Championship offering, with Leeds aiming to move clear of their promotion rivals. Following Sunderland’s draw with Burnley on Friday night, Leeds can put breathing room between themselves and that pair in a four-way fight for the top two spots.

Sheffield Wednesday are on the outskirts of the playoff race and they won’t make things easy for Daniel Farke’s team. The visitors have scored in 11 of their last 12 matches, while each of their previous five have seen both teams find the net.

Sheffield Wednesday have recorded at least 1.1 xG in each of their last six Championship games and the Owls will trouble a Leeds side who have seen score draws in their previous two league games.

The hosts have scored in 12 of their 13 home games in the Championship and they average 2.3 goals per game at Elland Road. They can do enough to come out on top here, but both teams to score at odds against appeals given the Owls’ recent record in front of goal.
