Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Hillsborough when Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves meet in one of the most intriguing EFL Cup round two ties. Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 League One defeat to Bradford City. The Owls have struggled for consistency, winning just three of their last 10 matches, while they have scored only 0.80 goals per game during that period. Their home record is slightly better, with 40% wins from their last five, but injuries to Bernard, Brown, Guilherme Siqueira, Liongola and Onyango leave the hosts short of options.
Wolves, meanwhile, are determined to return to the Premier League and also have ambitions of going deep in the EFL Cup. They head into this tie after a morale-boosting 3-1 win over Preston, with Adam Armstrong scoring from the bench and now pushing for a starting berth. However, Wolves have won only two of their last 10 games and have kept just one clean sheet during that run. Krejci, Mosquera and Trippier remain sidelined, while summer signing Raul Jimenez should be rested.
As Wolves have more attacking quality despite their inconsistent form, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Wolves to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (only 31% of the last 13 H2Hs produced more than 2.5 goals).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 19:45.
