Can Sheffield Wednesday Halt Bristol City’s Climb at Ashton Gate?
- Bristol City’s Leaky Defence: The Robins have shipped 13 goals in seven matches, averaging nearly two per game.
- Sheffield Wednesday’s Away Struggles: The Owls have not won away from home this season, scoring just once and conceding nine goals on their travels.
- Both Teams Lack a Prolific Scorer: With no player from either side scoring more than two goals, this is likely to be a close contest.
Our Tips
Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals | |
23/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning A high-scoring match with both teams scoring is likely. Aberdeen’s defensive struggles and Hibs’ inconsistent backline, coupled with strong attacking options, suggest another open, entertaining encounter. | |
Draw 2-2 | |
12/1 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning A 2-2 draw is predicted, reflecting both sides' defensive vulnerabilities and attacking strengths. Gayle and Youan pose threats for Hibs, while Aberdeen’s midfield creativity ensures a balanced, exciting clash. | |
Both teams are seeking momentum after a rather inconsistent start of the season. The Robins have shown glimpses of improvement under Liam Manning’s lead, especially after a spirited 2-1 comeback victory against Oxford United. Their recent draw against Swansea City, where Jason Knight salvaged a point with a late header, suggests the team is getting more and more resilient.
Sheffield Wednesday arrive with a boost in confidence following a thrilling 3-2 win over league leaders West Bromwich Albion. Under Danny Rohl’s management, the Owls ended a five-match winless run, thanks to Anthony Musaba’s late goal. Sitting 18th in the Championship, they aim to build on this success and further move away from the relegation zone.
Best Bet for this Match: Draw
The draw appears to be the most probable outcome here. Bristol City have struggled to produce consistent results, with just two wins in their last seven league matches. Their defence has been leaky, conceding 13 goals, which averages nearly two per game. Despite home advantage, they’ve failed to secure a clean sheet at Ashton Gate this season.
Sheffield Wednesday, although in good mood thanks to their recent win, have also found victories hard to come by. They’ve only secured two wins in the league so far. Their away form hasn’t been impressive either, but their ability to score—evident in their nine goals this season—cannot be overlooked. Players like Josh Windass and Barry Bannan have been instrumental, each netting twice in the league.
The Robins’ attack hasn’t been prolific, but Sinclair Armstrong and Nakhi Wells provides a threat to the Owls’ defence. However, with both teams showing defensive vulnerabilities—Bristol City conceding 1.9 goals per game and Sheffield Wednesday conceding two per match—a draw is likely.
“Both sides are eager to avoid defeat and may cancel each other out,” notes BettingTips4You.com expert Steve Harrington. “Given their defensive issues and similar ambitions, backing a draw offers solid value for punters.”

Correct Score Prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Aligning with the prediction of a draw, a 1-1 scoreline seems a a good correct score bet. Both teams have shown they can find the net but struggle to keep clean sheets. Bristol City average 1.3 goals per game, with goals spread across multiple players like Armstrong and Jason Knight. Sheffield Wednesday also average 1.3 goals per match, with Windass and Bannan contributing significantly.
Defensively, neither side has been solid. Bristol City have yet to keep a clean sheet, while the Owls have managed just one.
