BetGenius backs Wolves or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Sheffield Wednesday host Wolves at Hillsborough in the Round of 64 of the EFL Cup. The visitors arrive in strong offensive form, having scored eight goals across their last three recorded matches, including a 3-1 victory against Preston and a 3-0 win over Port Vale.
Sheffield Wednesday have experienced mixed results in their recent outings. While they secured narrow victories against Bolton (1-0) and Leyton Orient (2-1), they also suffered a 0-1 defeat to Bradford and a 0-4 loss against Oldham, highlighting some volatility in their performances.
In head-to-head encounters, Wolves hold the advantage with five wins from the 10 meetings compared to two for Sheffield Wednesday, including a 2-0 win at Hillsborough in their last League Cup meeting in 2018. Although Wolves contend with injuries to K. Trippier, Y. Mosquera, and L. Krejci, their overall quality and recent momentum give them a solid edge to avoid defeat.
