Blackpool vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Steve Ashfield in Carabao Cup Predictions
League One Blackpool look to cause a surprise when hosting Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. This is a match in the third round of the 2024-25 Carabao Cup. Will there be a shock? Read our prediction below.
Blackpool are already on their second coach of the year with Steve Bruce now in charge. He had his first win at his new club on Saturday when the Tangerines beat Exeter City 2-1 at home thanks to a 94th minute winner.
That was their first league win of the season and they are now 19th in the table. Better results have been achieved in the Carabao Cup with away wins at Burton Albion and Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
This is their first time past round two of the Carabao Cup since the 2018-19 season. Each of their last five league and cup games has seen both teams get on the scoresheet.
Sheffield Wednesday are also struggling for league points this season. Five games in the Championship this season have only produced four points, all earned at home. On the road, they've lost both games without scoring a goal and conceding seven.
The weekend saw them draw 1-1 at home to QPR. A dramatic finish saw them take the lead in the 93rd minute only for the visitors to equalize three minutes later. That point ended a run of three league defeats in a row with no goals scored.
In the Carabao Cup this season, the Owls have won away games at Hull City and Grimsby Town. They beat Grimsby 5-1 in round two despite conceding an early goal. We go for both teams to score in this match.
