Prediction: 2-2
Sheffield Wednesday
Abbey Stadium will host Tuesday’s League One game between Cambridge United and Sheffield Wednesday. The U’s failed to win the previous four league fixtures, but they showed character in a 2-2 draw with Ipswich United, with the team coming from two goals behind. Cambridge United are determined to return to winning ways, and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the Owls.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Joe Ironside, who scored his sixth goal of the season in the draw with the Tractor Boys. Leon Davies is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with AFC Wimbledon. Considering that the Owls have been scoring goals for fun on the road of late, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Josh Windass, Massimo Luongo, and George Byers are out of contention with injuries.
