2.45Tip and bets
Sheffield Wednesday are in good form and are trying to get closer to the playoff zone – the hosts will probably only count on a win today. Overall, the task for the Owls is not the most difficult – Stoke City are far from being in the best form, having not won in seven matches in a row, the visitors are also significantly inferior in terms of player selection, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the visitors have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Sheffield Wednesday . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on total
Sheffield Wednesday will undoubtedly strive only for victory today and will certainly go forward with a large force from the first minutes. It is unlikely that Stoke City has a chance to play reliably in defense in such a situation, the Potters concede a lot and regularly. At the same time, the Owls are not particularly reliable at their goal, the guests are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on corners
Sheffield Wednesday are the favourites and will certainly play first – the home side should win confidently on corners.
