Brentford v Sheffield Wednesday Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Brentford v Sheffield Wednesday Match Preview
Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday will duke it out in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Bees will be buzzing with excitement (excuse the pun!) after coming through a helter-skelter clash with Ipswich last weekend in the Premier League, prevailing in a seven-goal thriller.
Wednesday bagged a win last Friday thanks to a stunning Michael Smith strike from 25 yards that saw them edge out Portsmouth on their travels.
Brentford will be targeting silverware under Thomas Frank, and while there is a healthier representation of Championship sides in the League Cup, the West London outfit will want to put on a show.
A place in the quarter-finals is on the line, but who will take one step closer to Wembley?
I am on hand to provide a full match preview and offer some Brentford Sheffield Wednesday predictions and betting tips for you to ponder.
Brentford to book quarter-finals spot in style
Brentford, generally over the past few seasons, have been an upwardly mobile side and they are an established Premier League outfit.
Wednesday, meanwhile, lifted the League Cup in 1991, seeing off Manchester United 1-0, but they have been on the outside looking in.
Frank, I imagine, will put out a fairly strong team given this competition represents his side’s best chance of success this term.
Bryan Mbeumo, for example, has been on fire lately and rarely seems to miss the target.
Scoring in each of his past five league home matches pays testament to that, and he gave Ipswich a torrid time over the weekend.
Brentford have had the better of things against Sheffield Wednesday at home when both were in the Championship, and in their past three meetings at the Gtech, the Bees have won by an aggregate of 10-0.
The win to nil line seems to be quite appetising. I’m backing Brentford to fulfil it, and they are trading at a juicy 7/5 with Paddy Power.
Sheffield Wednesday to be run ragged
In cup competitions, there is always the chance of an upset, and for Wednesday, they will need to try and safely negotiate periods of the game without conceding against Brentford.
While they are safely ensconced in mid-table in the Championship, they have conceded 18 times and Brentford will be a step up in quality.
Perhaps Wednesday’s best chance of scoring will be from a set piece as opposed to open play.
However, to support my first pick of Brentford to win to nil, I fancy them to clinch a handsome victory.
To round things off, I’m going with the Correct Score line and Brentford to claim a 4-0 win en route to the last eight. William Hill is serving up an intriguing price of 14/1 for that possibility.
