Who will win between Sheffield Wednesday and Wolverhampton?
Wolverhampton are the pick, with CheckLive's read favouring the away side. They arrive unbeaten in four and carry Premier League quality, while Sheffield Wednesday have been inconsistent at the back. It is a lean, not a certainty.
Which side is in better form?
Wolverhampton hold the form edge, unbeaten in four with 11 goals scored and four conceded. Sheffield Wednesday lost two of their last five and shipped six. That contrast underpins the visitors' favourite status.
Will both teams score at Hillsborough?
Sheffield Wednesday scored just three times in five and Wolves conceded only four, so both teams to score is the weaker side of the market. The lean is to at least one team drawing a blank.
