Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips

Sheffield Wednesday to welcome Brentford at Hillsborough Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup SATURDAY. The Bees enter the weekend on a four-game winning streak against the home side and will look to extend that impressive run.

Sheffield Wednesday were once again left empty-handed in the EFL Championship as they lost 3-0 to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road Stadium last Sunday.

The Owls have gone 19 consecutive games without a win in all competitions (7D 12L), a run which has seen them plummet to the bottom of the Championship table.

However, Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to top their run in last season’s FA Cup, when they were beaten on penalties by Coventry City in this round after a 1-1 stalemate in normal time.

Brentford, meanwhile, continued their quest for European football on Wednesday by securing a 3-0 victory over Sunderland in the Premier League.

With the result, Keith Andrews’ side are unbeaten in six consecutive league matches, winning four and drawing two since a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on December 6.

Like Sheffield Wednesday, Brentford suffered third round elimination from the FA Cup last season, following a somewhat disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Plymouth Argyle.
