Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland Prediction, Lineups and Betting Tips: 18/1 double in tonight's Championship clash
With kick-off fast approaching, all eyes turn to Hillsborough at 8pm, where Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland are set to clash in the Championship under the Friday night lights.
Sunderland’s hopes of automatic promotion have taken a hit following back-to-back defeats, leaving them eight points adrift of second-placed Sheffield United with just 12 games remaining.
Sheffield Wednesday are also feeling the pressure, with consecutive losses denting their play-off ambitions. They now sit six points outside the top six, making this a must-win fixture for both sides as they look to get their respective goals back on track.
Read on for our best bets, justifications, how to watch the match, and the starting lineups.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland Prediction
Wilson Isidor has been in impressive form since Christmas, scoring seven goals in his last 12 matches - a run that has reportedly caught the eye of several Premier League clubs.
More recently, the 24-year-old has netted four times in his last six outings, and at an appealing 9/4 with bet365, he looks like a strong contender to find the net again on Friday night.
Sheffield Wednesday’s defensive struggles at home could work in his favour, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five home games and managed just one clean sheet in nine since November. Given their defensive vulnerabilities, the in-form Isidor looks an attractive price to enhance his tally.

At a big price of 18/1, I’m also backing Wilson Isidor to score and be carded in a bet365 Bet Builder.
While he’s been in excellent goal-scoring form, he’s also found himself in the referee’s notebook frequently, picking up six yellow cards since mid-December.
In his last six games, Isidor has scored four times and been booked three times, with the goal and card double landing twice during this run.
