Owls to have a hoot on Saturday
To be fair, both teams have had a decent run of form recently; Cheltenham have three wins and three losses in their last six games. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, have been relatively better; they lost just once in their last seven games, with four wins and a draw. However, it’s worth noting that Cheltenham tend to struggle away from home; they’ve played 19 road games so far this season, and won just three of them. In contrast, Sheffield Wednesday have been one of the best home teams in the league; they won 12 of 19 home games this season, losing just two. All things considered, we believe that Sheffield Wednesday will take all three points from this match.
Goals for both teams
Sheffield Wednesday have consistently scored goals over the course of their League One campaign; they found the net in 12 of their last 14 games in all competitions. On the other hand, Darren Moore’s men have conceded their fair share of goals; they allowed at least one goal in five of their last eight games. Just like Sheffield Wednesday, Cheltenham have conceded some goals recently; they have seen their defence breached in five of their last six games. Conversely, Cheltenham also scored in five of those six games. Both teams scored in four of Cheltenham’s last six games; with this in mind, we believe that there will be goals at both ends.
We will see goals
Cheltenham have scored and conceded a lot of goals recently; as a result, most of their games have been on the high-scoring side. Five of Cheltenham’s last six games went over 2.5, with four of those games going over 3.5. Similarly, Sheffield Wednesday have had their fair share of high-scoring games; three of their last five games went over 3.5, with over three goals scored on average in those five games. On that note, our final pick for this match is over 2.5 total goals.
