Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton predictions and betting tips for the Championship fixture on Saturday 30th September with the best odds for each selected bet.
One of the most mouthwatering 3pm kick offs in the Championship comes from South Yorkshire as Sheffield Wednesday host Brighton. We’ve got the best football betting tips for the match.
Sheffield Wednesday picked up a creditable win away at Blackburn during the week. Rovers were putting together a run of form and the Owls managed to keep them off the scoresheet. It’s four wins from five for Ricardo Carvalhal’s side with a solitary defeat to Birmingham in that run. They face a repeat of last season’s play-off semi-final as they welcome Brighton to Hillsborough. The Seagulls have put a decent run together themselves, winning three of the last four before settling for a goalless draw with Ipswich. Their away form prevented them from reaching the Premier League last season and it’s something they are looking to put right, but they have a dreadful record here. They’ve now kept four consecutive clean sheets though and will be hard to break down.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton Betting Predictions
These teams are incredibly well-matched. Brighton haven’t won here since before the 1st world war and although records are there to be broken, I don’t think they will take all three points back South. Wednesday are a tough nut to crack and offer a threat going forward. They are an effective home outfit and I think they’ll pick up at least a point, my first Sheff Wed vs Brighton betting tip is Sheffield Wednesday on the draw no bet market.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Tips
I’m not expecting a high scoring encounter with goals at both ends. Both defences have shown their up for the job recently and both of these sides kept clean sheets in midweek. Brighton haven’t conceded a goal since the 10th of September so I’m getting on under 2.5 goals for my second Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton prediction.

Anytime Goalscorer Tip
There are plenty of Sheffield Wednesday players who could get the nod in this market. Fernando Forestieri continues to try and put his barren run behind him and I think he might be able to find the back of the net here to complete our Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton tips with an anytime goalscorer winning bet.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton Team News
Sam Hutchinson limped off in midweek which was not a welcome sight for Wednesday fans. The club have suffered a run of injuries in defence and that won’t have helped. He’s 50/50 to make it for this game. Daniel Pudil could return to left back though, he’s missed three games with injury. Lucas Joao is also a doubt, but he isn’t a regular starter.
The visitors will have to do without Dale Stephens, who is suspended following his red card against Ipswich. The former Charlton man has provided steel in the middle of the park and they’ve been significantly stronger with him in the side. Beram Kayal is also suspended.
Gaeten Bong returns to the side, but there remain long term casualties such as Solly March and Kazenga Lua Lua.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton Head to Head
These two sides are very familiar opposition having met four times last season. Sheffield Wednesday got the better of the Seagulls in the end of season play-offs as they ran out 3-1 aggregate winners. There have been just five goals in the last six meetings between these sides with three 0-0s during that time.
Brighton have only scored once in their last six visits to Hillsborough
Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton Betting Odds
The draw is fancied by many and is priced at 9/4 with many firms. Sheffield Wednesday can be backed at 6/4 whilst there isn’t much love for Brighton, who are as big as 2/1 with some firms.
The shorter prices on Unders markets suggest that the traders are expecting a low scoring affair.
Two Sheffield Wednesday players lead the way in the goalscorer market with Fernando Forestieri and Gary Hooper the top two. Tomer Hemed and Glenn Murray will also be fancied by many.
