Wolves face a side a division below them here, and even a rotated XI should have too much for a League One Sheffield Wednesday. The Old Gold thumped Port Vale 3-0 in the first round and are unbeaten in the Championship, while the Owls are rebuilding after relegation. They meet at Hillsborough in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, and our Sheffield Wednesday vs Wolves match prediction backs Wolves to win.
The Old Gold carry Premier League pedigree into a competition their hosts cannot match on paper. They followed a drawn league opener with a 3-1 win at Preston, and swept Port Vale aside with three first-half goals. This is a squad built for a far higher level than League One.
The Owls deserve credit for grinding past Bolton 1-0 in the first round. But in all fairness, that was a scrappy victory, considering Sheffield only scored after Bolton fell to 10 men. They are a League One outfit rebuilding after a turbulent relegation, where the Owls finished in last place with 32 defeats in 46 games.
Sheffield also conceded an astonishing 89 goals last season, allowing 1.93 goals per game. For us, it should be a routine win for Wolves.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Wolves Prediction
For us, this is about as one-sided as a cup tie gets on paper. The Old Gold are a Championship side with Premier League pedigree, unbeaten so far and fresh off a 3-0 rout of Port Vale. The Owls, by contrast, finished last season bottom, losing 32 of 46 and shipping 89 goals.
They are a League One team still finding their feet after all that. Even a rotated Wolves side should carry far too much at Hillsborough. Hence, our Sheffield Wednesday vs Wolves match prediction is that Wolves wins.
