Owls well fancied to sting Bees


Bookies are less than confident in Brentford’s ability to rattle the Owls’ cage, Betfred pricing them at 10/3 to record their sixth away win of the season, while bet365 chalk 13/5 against the draw.
Wednesday have scored at the rate of almost two goals per game at home (28 in 15 matches) and are 4/5 with Coral to notch the opener and 9/1 (Winner.com) to secure a 2-0 victory.

Hide AdDoncaster and Sheffield United meet with both teams in need of points – Rovers to stay clear of the relegation tussle and United to reignite their pursuit of a play-off berth. Despite being at home, however, Rovers kick off priced as bet365’s 2/1 underdogs to win; the Blades are 6/4 according to BetVictor.com.
United’s away form has been impressive – only high-flying Walsall have lost fewer away matches – although they’ve drawn too many contests that they should have won. Punters anticipating more of the same may fancy the look of Skybet’s 12/5 posted about the stalemate, or perhaps the 5/1 chalked by Ladbrokes against both halves finishing on level terms.
Rotherham, who lost at Bolton last week after conceding in the second minute of injury time, welcome play-off chasing Birmingham City on Saturday for a match they start as Coral’s 7/4 outsiders.
Rampant Barnsley are installed as BetVictor’s 5/4 jollies at home to Peterborough and they’re 10/3 (Betfred) to enjoy a one-goal margin of victory, while a 2-1 home win is priced at 8/1 by William Hill.
Chesterfield are at league leaders Burton on Friday night and it’s no surprise to see them starting as Stan James’s 4/1 underdogs to register three points.
