Sheffield Wednesday head into this FA Cup last-64 meeting with Brentford in difficult shape, both on and off the pitch. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-0 away win. The Owls are low on confidence following a heavy 3-0 loss to QPR and given their ongoing financial problems, home win should not be considered. Performances at Hillsborough have offered little encouragement, with Wednesday taking just 0.40 points per game at home and failing to win any of their last five. Their attacking potential remains weak, scoring only 0.80 goals per home match, while a 60% failed-to-score rate highlights their ongoing struggles. Defender Yan Valery’s return from international duty is a boost, but unlikely to shift the balance significantly.
The Bees, meanwhile, travel to "The Steel City" in far better shape, winning three of their last five matches. Their away form is improving after two consecutive wins, and they boast a stronger offensive profile, averaging 1.17 goals on the road with 0.96 expected goals. Defensive numbers also compare favourably, conceding 1.67 goals away—still better than Wednesday’s 2.20 conceded per game overall. With Dango Ouattara back from AFCON, even if only from the bench, the Bees should have enough depth to control the tie.
Given Brentford's fine form and Sheffield Wednesday's difficulties up front, Home Win, Brentford to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals markets seem tempting.
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 15:00.
