A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: Hillsborough
Friday 26th December 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Sheffield Wednesday slumped to a 14th defeat of the season in the Championship last weekend when The Owls were dealt an understandable 3-1 loss away from home at high-flying Ipswich Town to leave the hosts rock-bottom in the table and a massive 30 points adrift of safety.
With Sheffield Wednesday now virtually resigned to their relegation fate, manager Henrik Pedersen will still be urging his players to remain competitive although the hosts have now lost six of their last seven games overall in the second tier, while failing to win any of their last 16 league matches as well.
However, there’s still entertainment to be had at Hillsborough as seven of Sheffield Wednesday’s 11 home games to date have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and Boxing Day may be no different.
Hull City have climbed up into 4th place in the Championship and therefore amongst the play-off pack ahead of this upcoming trip to Yorkshire to take on a beleaguered Sheffield Wednesday outfit on Boxing Day.
The Tigers have won each of their last three matches on the trot in the English second tier with victories gained over Wrexham, Millwall and West Brom respectively, so Sergej Jakirović’s side will fancy their chances of extending their winning streak at Hillsborough.
However, Hull City’s away record of 4-2-4 18/17 looks extremely inconsistent and therefore the goals market looks the safest bet for this upcoming fixture where The Tigers are concerned, especially as eight of their 10 away games have also produced three goals or more.
The Betting Verdict
Three of the last five meetings have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
The Pick :
Sheffield Weds 1-2 Hull City
