Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United tip one: Both teams to score @ 8/11
We can see the home side taking the game to Leeds here. They will be aware that the pressure is on the visitors to bounce back after last weekend’s defeat to Birmingham City.
Wednesday have only failed to score once at home this season and that was to Premier League side Wolves in the League Cup. They know where the back of the net is in front of their own fans, that’s for sure.
As for Leeds, it’s ten goals in four Championship away games so far this campaign.
Key Stat: Both teams have scored in all four of Sheffield Wednesday’s home league matches this season

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United tip two: Fernando Forestieri to score anytime @ 7/4
Argentinean striker Fernando Forestieri is set to come back for the home side after suspension and he’ll be highly motivated to perform against Friday’s opponents
Having nearly signed for the club, he was told by Leeds owner at the time Massimo Cellino that he didn’t have the right attitude to play for the club. Since then, he’s gone on to be prolific for Wednesday in the Championship.
There’s also some history between Forestieri and Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa. It was for the Sheffield Wednesday striker’s hometown club, Newell’s Old Boys, that he made his name in management.
It’s perhaps written in the stars that he will net in this one.
Key Stat: Five of Forestieri’s last seven Championship goals have come on home soil
Tip: Fernando Forestieri to score anytime @ 7/4 with William Hill – bet here

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United tip three: Leeds to be winning after 30 minutes @ 5/2
Sheffield Wednesday have made a habit of conceding first-half goals this season and with Leeds in form in front of goal on the road, we can see the visitors striking first in this one.
There’s no way we’d rule out Wednesday coming back into it, but for the league leaders to have the advantage after a third of the game seems like a good price.
While the home side have been sloppy starters, Leeds have scored four away goals inside the first 30 minutes so far this season.
Key Stat: Sheffield Wednesday conceded twice in the opening 22 minutes to Stoke City in their last home game
Tip: Leeds to be winning after 30 minutes @ 5/2 with William Hill – bet here
