Sheffield Wednesday 1/7 to reach the Championship playoffs this season

Posted April 19th, 2017 | By: Crippy Cooke

Competition: Championship
Market: Sheffield Wednesday to reach the playoffs
Odds: 1/7 @ William Hill

Sheffield Wednesday recently enjoyed a 2-1 away win against Queens Park Rangers, to leapfrog Leeds United and move into the Championship playoff places, while registering four consecutive victories for their troubles.

Wednesday are currently fifth in the Championship table with 75 points from 43 games this season, coming off the back of four wins against Rotherham United, Newcastle United, Cardiff City and QPR. The Owls have lost just two games since February and look on course to cement a top-six place as things stand.

Leeds United are just one place outside of the playoffs but level on points with sixth-placed Fulham and two adrift of Sheff Wed. As a result, the Owls need to match the result of the Whites in their remaining three games to ensure they finish in the playoffs.

Carlos Carvalhal’s side have been in fantastic form in 2017, winning 10 and drawing four of their 19 league games, and have stayed in and around the Championship playoffs from November onwards. Such consistently should give them the edge over Leeds as the latter are enduring a badly-timed slump in form – three defeats from last five.

As a result, William Hill are giving odds of 1/7 for Sheffield Wednesday to reach the Championship playoffs this season.
