Sheffield Wednesday have looked more than decent lately and are aggressive in attack – just look at the comeback at Riverside in the last round and three goals against Middlesbrough in a half. It is obvious that today the Owls will also strive to take the maximum and will certainly not be left without goals, but at the same time Preston is capable of putting up a fight at home and responding with one goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Sheffield Wednesday have played a number of very decent matches and are approaching the play-off zone – the visitors will certainly strive to build on their success and will be determined only to win. Preston are not an easy opponent and are quite capable of putting up resistance, but the Owls look preferable in terms of the quality of their football, and the visitors have an advantage in terms of the selection of players.
