Sheffield Wednesday face Portsmouth in a League One clash with plenty of pressure on the Owls. As the financial troubles have left Wednesday 18 points adrift, we predict a 2-1 win for the Pompey. Injuries have further depleted the Sheffield Wednesday squad, with the team yet to record a league win in recent matches. Home form is slightly better than away, but Henrik Pedersen's men average just 0.80 goals per game at home, while conceding 2.00 goals per match, highlighting defensive fragility.
The Pompey, on the other hand, head into Saturday's game in a mixed form, with the team collecting 1.10 points per game overall in recent outings. They boast a stronger home record with 1.67 points per match, though their away form is struggling. Portsmouth’s attack has been moderate, scoring 1.00 goal per game, but they remain a threat against a leaky Wednesday defense. Historically, the Owls hold the H2H advantage, but they are currently running down a blind alley.
Portsmouth have been in a much better form than the struggling hosts. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting pick for this Championship clash, with additional value on Over 1.5 goals and Portsmouth Over 1.5.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
