Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday predictions and football betting tips for this Sunday’s Championship fixture with the best odds for each bet picked.
There’s just a single Championship game on Sunday, but it’s a decent one. High flying Huddersfield host Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire derby. We’ve got the best three betting tips for the midday kick off.
Few people would have pitched Huddersfield as the early leaders in the Championship going into the second International Break, but the Terriers are sitting pretty on 25 points at the summit. David Wagner’s high pressing game is working and looking at their results, they’ve been very consistent. They conceded more than a goal a game and they also haven’t won a game by more than a single goal. All of the players buy into it and it’s working well. Whether it’s kayaking in the Swedish wilderness or traditional training methods, the players are enjoying it. They’ve had some tough examinations recently and this is another one. They host the Owls, who have made a decent start to the season and their injury-hit squad will have benefitted from the week’s rest. Carlos Carvalhal’s side were disappointed with their home loss to Brighton 2 weeks ago and they’re looking to bounce back here.
Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Predictions
Huddersfield have a 100% record here this season winning all five matches so far. Remarkably they’ve won four of those by a 2-1 scoreline. Don’t be surprised to see a similar outcome and that’s my first Huddersfield vs Sheff Wed betting tip. Wednesday’s away form has been ropey. It let them down last season and they’re struggling outside of Hillsborough. They did get three points against Blackburn at Ewood, but Rovers saw a late Marvin Emnes goal chalked off.

Both Teams to Score Tip
That 2-1 scoreline is extremely tempting once again and I do think Sheffield Wednesday will find a way onto the scoresheet for my second Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction. Despite heading for defeat they managed to find a late goal against Brighton recently. They’ve netted in four of their last five away games.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction
The goals have been shared around for Huddersfield this season so an anytime goalscorer tip is tricky. Nakhi Wells leads the way in the goalscoring market, but I’d prefer to back Elias Kachunga. He is likely to start and cause problems for the Sheffield Wednesday backline.

Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Team News
Joe Lolley is an absentee for the home side, he’s likely to be out until the next International Break in November.
Aaron Mooy didn’t train on Thursday following his long trip back from Australia. He will be assessed ahead of this match.
Rajiv Van La Parra will be pushing for a start. The wideman hasn’t featured since his needless sending off against Reading.
Daniel Pudil has fully recovered from a recent injury and is set to be reinstated at left back for this match. Stephen Fletcher played for Scotland in midweek against Slovakia, but is likely to start this match ahead of Gary Hooper.
Almen Abdi, Ross Wallace and Will Buckley are all competing for a start in midfield. Barry Bannan played both matches for Scotland over the course of the last seven days and Carvalhal may be tempted to rest the midfielder.
Huddersfield vs Sheff Wed Head to Head
Although I’ve tipped Huddersfield to win, they haven’t beaten Sheffield Wednesday since 2013. Sheffield Wednesday won 1-0 here in April with a Forestieri goal making all the difference.
The sides played out two draws in 2014/15 season with the match at the John Smith’s Stadium ending goalless.
Huddersfield’s last victory here against Sheffield Wednesday came in 2011.
Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Odds
This game is nicely poised and the draw is quite fancied. It’s around 23/10 with most firms at the time of writing. The home side can be backed at around 6/4 with the away side as big as 2/1 to get their second consecutive victory on the road.
There’s not much to choose between Nahki Wells and Fernando Forestieri at the top of the goalscorer market. Gary Hooper is also well fancied at around 5/2.
