Preston vs Sheffield Wed Prediction & Betting tips
Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday meet each other on Saturday afternoon at Deepdale. Both teams are practically finished this season. This is certainly the case for Preston North End, while Sheffield Wednesday only has a theoretical chance of play-off participation. Which team is full for the three points?
Preston North End:
Preston North End can look back on this season with satisfaction. It was a stable mid-engine all year round and had a chance to participate in the play-offs until a few weeks ago. With five defeats in the last six games, this dream has shattered. A shame especially when you consider that with three wins it could have just been in sixth place at the moment. Due to, among other things, defeats against strong opponents such as Sheffield United, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion, the visor can now be final for the new season.
With the enforcement of Preston North End, manager Alex Neil delivers an absolute top performance. With a young selection of an average of twenty-five years old and without absolute stars, the current twelfth position is perfectly luxurious. With a bit of luck it can go up three places and in the worst case it will be twelfth. Last season the Lilywhites became seventh but that selection had more quality than the current one.
Sheffield Wednesday:
With two rounds to go, Sheffield Wednesday has a very small theoretical chance of play-off participation. It will have to win the remaining two games. In addition, Bristol City and Derby County will have to share the points in their mutual encounters and then these two teams will have to lose all their games. Middlesbrough is also not allowed to take points anymore and it would still be possible for Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday had a changeable season. The Dutchman Jos Luhukay started the season well and was in sixth place for a while. After the turn of the year, the draft was in good shape and Sheffield Wednesday made a free fall on the rankings. The board dismissed the Dutchman and Steve Bruce became the new manager. He does a little better than Luhukay and performs well in the last games by holding future champion Norwich City on a tie and on Monday, Bristol City was beaten 2-0.
