Sheffield Wednesday vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview
Sheffield Wednesday head into this Carabao Cup second round tie at Hillsborough in fine fettle, having won both of their opening competitive fixtures this season. Henrik Pedersen's side edged past Bolton Wanderers 1-0 in the first round before beating Leyton Orient 2-1 in League One, where Callum Slattery marked his league debut with a goal and Jamal Lowe converted from the spot. The Owls will fancy their chances on home turf against higher-ranked opposition.
Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive with a point to prove after their relegation from the Premier League. César Peixoto's squad looked sharp in dispatching Port Vale 3-0 in the first round, and the manager declared his team "ready and confident" heading into this fixture. Wolves have endured a sluggish start to their Championship campaign, picking up just one win from five league outings, but their squad depth and quality remain a tier above their League One hosts.
Wolves carry a clear quality advantage here as a recently relegated Premier League outfit now competing in the Championship. Their convincing three-goal victory over Port Vale in the first round showed clinical finishing and squad depth. César Peixoto's side looked sharp, composed, and ready to impose themselves on lower-league opposition. The away win at 1.62 reflects that gap in class between these two sides.
Sheffield Wednesday's back-to-back wins deserve respect, but the level of opposition matters. Beating Bolton and Leyton Orient is a different proposition entirely from facing a Wolves squad packed with top-tier experience. The Owls showed grit with Callum Slattery's debut goal and Jamal Lowe's penalty, yet replicating that output against superior defensive organisation will be tough.
The value pick here sits with Wolves to win at 1.62. History supports this selection too; Wolves won the equivalent fixture at Hillsborough back in 2018 by two goals. With both teams scoring in Wednesday's recent league outing, the both teams to score market at 1.05 also warrants consideration as a secondary pick.
