Man City v Sheffield Wednesday: Goals Tip
75% of Wednesday's league matches have produced two goals or fewer. The Owls are therefore capable of making life tough at the Etihad.
Sheffield Wednesday have established themselves as the ultimate mixed bag in the Championship this season. The Owls perch in mid-table courtesy of having scored the joint-fewest goals (18) offset by the fact they have also conceded the second fewest (21).
The combination inevitably leads to predominantly tight encounters with 18 out of 24 league games so far witnessing under 2.5 goals. Therefore, best odds of 21/10 (BetVictor) on there being under 2.5 goals in the match against Manchester City seems generous.
Sceptics will point out that Pellegrini’s boys thrashed Wednesday 7-0 in the League Cup a few months ago but even that night it was 0-0 at half-time. With Aguero and Dzeko absent on Sunday, the chances of something similar happening again are far less likely than the odds indicate.
