Prediction: Southampton wins
Indeed, Sheffield Wednesday might be unpredictable with nothing to fight for. But that alone isn't enough to ignore the numbers. And those numbers suggest that The Saints will beat The Owls with multiple goals. Only three teams have outscored Southampton this season, which should already tell you about their attacking prowess.
Against a team allowing two goals per game, Southampton should comfortably net multiple goals, just as they did when they beat The Owls 3-1 earlier this season. Hence, our Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton prediction is that Southampton wins & over 1.5.

The Saints seem to be operating on another level after going eight straight games with six wins to their name. This is outrightly Southampton’s best stretch of the season, and they only now capped it with their biggest victory in this campaign—a 5-0 thrashing of QPR.
Southampton now look to do the double over Sheffield, which could see them cut the gap between the promotion playoffs to just three points. On paper, that’s the only plausible outcome, considering that Sheffield Wednesday has now lost 12 straight games, while scoring only two goals in that span.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Southampton -1.5/2
European Handicap: Southampton Wins
Predicted Scores: 0-2, 1-2, 1-3
Predicted Total Goals: 2, 3, 4
