Competition: FA Cup

Market: Sheffield Wednesday win

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on their FA Cup adventure at the second attempt on Tuesday night, Sheffield Wednesday will make the trip to League One rivals Fleetwood.

Starting with the hosts, while Fleetwood might have shocked many as they snatched an FA Cup replay thanks to a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough on January 28th, Scott Brown’s side are in the midst of a nightmare spell. Last seen over the weekend suffering last-gasp heartbreak on home soil as they were hit with an action-packed 3-2 loss against Burton, the ex-Celtic skipper finds his downbeat squad on a seven-match winless run across all formats. Likewise, suffering six separate defeats on their woeful run of form, Fleetwood have also gained a reputation for their rather glaring struggles at the back. In fact, Tuesday’s hosts have failed to muster a single clean sheet at Highbury from their previous seven attempts – a run that stems all the way back to October 29th. While Brown’s side might be desperate to spring a real FA Cup upset here, the Fishermen face a huge challenge.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a remarkable run of form this season, Sheffield Wednesday are breezing their way towards a Championship return in 2023. Last seen over the weekend picking up a 1-0 victory at home against Plymouth, Darren Moore’s men are now unbeaten in each of their previous 15 straight matchups across all formats. With that stellar purple patch stemming all the way back to November 9th, the one-time West Brom boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Shocking everyone across England last month as they claimed a famous 2-1 victory against Premier League giants Newcastle, Moore will be calling for a repeat performance in midweek. Claiming a 2-1 win the last time they made the trip to Highbury on Boxing Day, we’re backing a similar away victory on Tuesday night.

Bet: Sheffield Wednesday 19/20 to beat Fleetwood Town in Tuesday’s FA Cup tie @ 888sport
