On Wednesday night, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland clash at Hillsborough in what is one of the picks of the first-round ties in the Carabao Cup.
Sheffield Wednesday
The Yorkshire outfit has taken four points from their opening two games in League One. Last time out, they recorded a 1-0 win at MK Dons.
This season could have been so much different for the Owls, as they suffered an exit at the semi-final of last season’s play-offs at the hands of Sunderland, who finished just a point below them in the table.
Wednesday has a poor recent record in the League Cup, winning just one of their last five games in the Carabao Cup and suffering three defeats in the process.
The Owls have also failed to win any of their last three home games in the League Cup, having suffered two defeats in 90 minutes and one in extra time. They have also failed to score in all three home matches.
Sunderland
The Black Cats have made a decent return to the Championship by picking up four points from their opening two matches of the campaign. Last time out, they won 3-2 at Bristol City. The promising start came on the back of a mixed pre-season campaign.
The visitors have a bit of a mixed recent record in the Carabao Cup. They have won three of their last five games in normal time and one in extra time.
Their only defeat in the run came in a 5-1 hammering by Arsenal in last season’s competition.
Sunderland have also got a decent away record in the League Cup, having won six of their previous nine away games in the competition.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts this clash will end in a close-fought and low-scoring draw over 90 minutes.
