Saturday, at 12:30, Sheffield Wednesday receives Luton Town’s visit to England’s 3rd Cup and hosts have a good defensive form lately. The “Owls” have not lost in the championship of four consecutive stages (two goals).
Sheffield Wednesday has a superior value in front of Luton, who was the leader of the third league. Luton comes after two draws in the championship, 2-2 at Walsall and 0-0 at home in the derby with Barnsley. Guests practice a pure English game, based on long balls and a very bothersome style. Wednesday is a more technical and tactical team with valuable players who can make a difference on Hillsborough: Fletcher, Reach, Matias or Nuhiu.
Luton is ranked 2nd in League One, 5 points behind Portsmouth (49-24 Golaveraj), while Wednesday is trying to get in the Championship hierarchy – 16th place (32-42 golaver) and 6 points to be recovered Top 10. The defensive was a problem for white-blue in the first part of the season, but the latest developments confirm the team’s progress and the good shape can only continue with a qualification in the next round of the English Cup. Luton, on the other hand, is more concerned with the fight for promotion than it is to make a big surprise. In addition, the guests’ means are not impressive at all, despite the good ranking in the third run.
Interestingly, Sheffield has not defeated Luton at least once in the last 17 years, and four of the eight played games ended in a tie, and four more came to the band near London. All these matches took place in the championship and are of little relevance to the current match, where the hosts are the better team. With the right attitude, Sheffield Wednesday should get a qualification in round four, especially as fans expect a positive result from their favorites.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.88
