West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction and Betting Tips | November 1 2025

West Bromwich Albion take on Sheffield Wednesday in the 13th round of games in the Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.

Ryan Mason's West Brom are coming off a 1-0 loss at Ipswich Town last weekend. Despite dominating possession (53%), the Baggies paid for their profligate finishing (1/4 shots on target).

Jack Clarke netted an 83rd-minute winner as Mason's side slumped to their second straight loss. They are 11th in the standings, with 17 points from 12 games, winning five.

Meanwhile, Henrik Pedersen's Sheffield are fresh off a 2-1 home defeat to Oxford United. The Owls dominated possession (64%) and had more shots on target (5-3) but trailed 2-0 at the break.

Although they pulled one back eight minutes into the second period, an equaliser wasn't to be as Sheffield suffered their fourth straight defeat. They have -6 points (including 12 docked because of filing administration), winning only once in 12 outings.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the West Brom-Sheffield Championship clash at The Hawthorns:

West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction

The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While West Brom are in the top half of the standings, Sheffield look destined to stay at the bottom for a while after entering administration amid their abysmal start to the season.

In terms of head-to-head, the Owls have an advantage, but the Baggies have dominated the fixture recently, winning seven of 12 league meetings, losing twice. Moreover, Sheffield are winless in six league visits to West Brom, losing four times, including the last three.

Considering Sheffield's woeful start to the season and poor defence, anything but a West Brom win would be a huge surprise.
