Hull City vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals landed in 11 of Sheffield Wednesday’s last 16 games last term.
• Sheffield Wednesday’s last three EFL Cup games have ended 1-1.
• Three of Hull’s last six EFL Cup games have been all square after 90 minutes.

Owls look to continue winning start

Hull raised the curtain in the new campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City on Saturday and a similar result could be on the cards in the EFL Cup first round.

The Tigers ended last term with three wins, three draws, and one defeat from their final seven games but they haven’t been beyond the first round in this competition since 2020.

Three of their last five EFL Cup games have ended all square after 90 minutes, with two 1-1 stalemates and one bore draw.

Stalemate expected at The MKM Stadium

Sheffield Wednesday are no strangers to a penalty shootout in the EFL Cup, either, with each of their last three ties in this competition ending 1-1.

The Owls may have beaten Plymouth 4-0 in their opener, but 11 of their final 16 games last season featured fewer than three goals, so backing under 2.5 goals alongside yet another 1-1 draw appeals.
