Sheffield Wednesday v Newcastle Match Preview

Although Newcastle find themselves currently in the Champions League paying positions, it is another European path that could be started at the weekend and with the Magpies making the trip to Sheffield, one wonders if this fixture will be considered as their top priority.

A priority that has arguably slipped down the list in the past couple of months. At the start of the season, a lengthy cup run and a couple of days out at Wembley would have been the perfect tonic for Newcastle supporters. Now though, they have the taste for something more.

More that comes in the way of mixing with Europe’s elite next season and although the mantra is not necessarily Champions League or bust on Tyneside, they would hate for anything to derail their current top four bid.

Which is why their visit to Hillsborough is set to be a rather interesting one. You have a League One outfit playing the role of hosts in one corner. You have a Premier League side which is not really sure if it wants to make the trip.

One indicator of how seriously Newcastle take this fixture, will be the strength of their starting eleven. If it is as full strength as possible, then you know that Howe and his cohorts will be up for the cup.

On the other hand, wholesale changes may only tip the balance in Sheffield Wednesday’s favour and anyone looking to make a bet in the 3-way handicap market, may want to keep their powder dry until at least 60 minutes before kickoff.

As for the hosts, they find themselves in fine form and somewhat perversely their manager may also consider this fixture as one that they may well do without. If only because Darren Moore’s men are currently lying second in England’s third tier.

Not only that, but the Owls are currently unbeaten in their last 13 and have won each of their last three. When you consider a 46-game league campaign, cup football may be a bridge to far for this half of Sheffield.

At the same time, Wednesday may well smell blood on Saturday and with the FA Cup writers looking to write another chapter of their ongoing history book, this could lead to another fascinating entry.

With that in mind, our latest bet builder is now up for grabs, and it looks like this:

For my latest bet builder offering, the spotlight is being shown on Michael Smith. A name that has already won the Darts World Championship this week and I believe his namesake will find the net against Newcastle.

With too much uncertainty regarding Newcastle’s starting eleven, I believe that Sheffield Wednesday will pull off one of the upsets of the round and although the Magpies will get a consolation goal, their supporters may want to back this and console themselves with odds of 22/1.
