Game Analysis

  • A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Sheffield Wednesday is the shortest price on a book of 1.38 / 5.25 / 5.75 (1 / X / 2), an implied 66.5%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 66.5% / 17.5% / 16.0% on an overround of 8.9%.

  • In the league table Sheffield Wednesday sit 1st on 3 points (1W 0D 0L) with Sunderland Academy 3rd on 1 point (0W 1D 0L).

  • Sheffield Wednesday read W-D-D-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 2D 0L) — a strong recent run.

  • Sunderland Academy read D-L-D-W-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

  • Our last-six model flags 3 qualifying strikes here. Reading Sheffield Wednesday first, then Sunderland Academy, out of their last six: O 2.50 4 and 6, O 3.50 1 and 5, GG 4 and 5.

  • The read: Sheffield Wednesday at 1.38 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
