Sheffield Wednesday plays host to Premier League outfit Brentford at Hillsborough in the third round of the FA Cup. This marks the first-ever meeting between these two sides in this competition. Here's our match prediction.
Sheffield Wednesday have not been at their best in the EFL Championship, with the team tipped to be relegated at the end of the season. After 25 games, they are anchored at the bottom of the table with -7 points.
Their recent match was a league outing against QPR. As expected, they suffered a 3-0 defeat. This was the second successive time they lost by that scoreline.
The Owls start the FA Cup in the third round. In the previous edition, they were eliminated at this stage after being outplayed by Coventry City on penalties. Before this, they had progressed beyond this stage on six occasions.
Brentford are coming off a comfortable 3-0 beating of Sunderland in midweek Premier League action. That result extended their winning streak to two games, and their unbeaten run to five.
The Bees also start in the third round of the FA Cup. Their objective is to progress beyond this stage for the first time since the 2021-22 edition, when they lost 4-1 against Everton in the fourth round.
In the previous edition, they failed to get past EFL Championship side Plymouth, succumbing to a narrow 1-0 defeat.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday's form goes beyond a simple struggle. They are winless in their last 19 games. Finding the net has also been a real issue, having failed to do so in each of their last three matches. Taking into account all of this, victory is far from guaranteed here.
Brentford have won three of their last four matches against Sheffield Wednesday. The visitors kept two clean sheets during this period. Given their opponents' profligacy in the final third, a comfortable win accompanied by a clean sheet is in the offing. Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford prediction: both teams to score - no.
