Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Black Cats dominated the Owls in their previous meeting.

Sheffield Wednesday are all set to host Sunderland on matchday 35 of the EFL Championship 2024-25 season. The Owls are in the 13th spot having won 12 games after playing 34 league matches. The Black Cats are in the fourth spot as they have won 17 games in the same number of games.

Sheffield Wednesday were dominated in their last EFL Championship game against Burnley. The Owls conceded only one goal in the first half but later in their second, they conceded three more. In response, they were unable to come up with any goals and hence dropped three points. If this goes on, they will lose some more points in their upcoming games.

Sunderland fell prey to Hull City in their last league game. They conceded a goal as Anthony Patterson scored an own goal. The Black Cats were good in attack but failed to convert it into any goal. This resulted in them dropping three more points.
